| Sword of the Assassin | comment |
A 2012 Vietnamese film starring Huynh Dong as Nguyen Vu and Midu as Hoa Xuan. 12 years ago, Nguyen Vu's entire family are killed due to claims that they were complicit in the murder of the King of Vietnam. Upon learning this, Vu sets out to not only clear his family's sullied name, but also take revenge on the empress whom he believes is the true mastermind.Despite being Vietnamese, it owes a lot to Chinese wuxia movies, in terms of plot, cinematography, and choreography. | |

| Sword of the Assassin / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Thai Hau's punishment for her numerous crimes (including ordering four massacres on-screen and murdering the king) are... a talking to and bad dreams. And Vu also winds up actually doing her a service by getting rid of multiple people gunning for the throne and giving her the most dangerous weapon against her. | |

Eunuchs Are Evil | |
| Sword of the Assassin / int_bbd25056 | comment |
Eunuchs Are Evil: Averted. The blood letter is written by the king's "most reliable eunuch" and carries a great deal of weight. However, the empress tries to claim that he was an untrustworthy liar and enemy, thus anything he said should be disregarded. | |
