Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Blood Brothers, also known as Dynasty of Blood, is a 1973 Shaw Brothers martial arts Epic Film directed by Chang Cheh, starring Shaw Brothers regulars David Chiang, Ti Lung, and the newcomer Chen Kuan-tai.In the twilight of the Qing Dynasty, a former soldier Chiang Wen-hsiang (David Chiang) and a hoodlum Huang Chang (Chen) befriends a scholar and warrior, Ma Xin-yi (Ti Lung), under the most unlikely circumstances. Deciding to become sworn brothers and lacking an aim in life, the trio decides to join the Imperial Army, on a military campaign during the Taiping Rebellion. But as their ranks in the army grew through the years, their ambitions may lead to their eventual downfall.At the 11th Golden Horse Awards, Ti Lung won the Special Award for Outstanding Performance in the film. It's worth noting that his character, Ma Xin-yi, is very loosely based on a heavily-fictionalized account of a real-life military general that served in the Qin Dynasty.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This movie will notably, a few decades later, inspire Peter Chan's The Warlords, with Jet Li, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro in the roles previously filled in by Ti Lung, Chen Kuan-tai and David Chiang.Not to be confused with Blood Brothers (2007). | |

| Blood Brothers (1973) / int_37b5c1b0 | comment |
Big Badass Battle Sequence: A rather lengthy battle montage occurs halfway through the film, with the brothers Ma Xin-yi, Huang Chang and Wen-hsiang leading their former bandits-turned-imperial soldiers into battle against the rebels. It culminates into the trio capturing a fortress from the rebel army, with Huang Chang and Wen-hsiang fighting the rebel commander and winning. | |

Agonizing Stomach Wound: What eventually takes Ma Xin-yi down, courtesy of an enraged Wen-hsiang stabbing him through the midsection with a knife and twisting it. The knife stays there throughout the entire penultimate confrontation between the two former brothers. | |
