The Three Swordsmen

The movie had so much potential, but in the end, it was too much to live up to.

Smiling Sam (Andy Lau), Samurai (Brigitte Lin), and Big Knife (Tsui Kam-Kong) are three of the best swordsmen in the nation of China. Upon finding out that the best of the best is, someone disguised as Smiling Sam and killed the prince. Andy then embarks on an adventure to see find out who framed him which ends in a duel to see who the best swordsmen is.

The movie has a very interesting plotline and good actors to back them up, but the way it execute is just plain horrific! Someone needs to fire the camera guy along with the editing guy because various scenes pop up out of nowhere for no apparent reason. The finale of the film isn't half bad, but it is predictable. It's just a shame that a film with so much potential ended up so bad.
