Affably Evil: Chang Chao Hung, the film's main villain, is surprisingly polite and affable towards his foes, and displays plenty of respect when fighting Chen Chia-Lo and the rest of the Red Flower Society resistance members. He even visibly smiles when goading Chief Chou's young son into spilling the beans on the resistance hideout. | |

| The Emperor And His Brother / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The movie is based on The Book and the Sword, whose page-count reaches thousands. Given that this is the Shaw's sole attempt at adapting this novel, loads of stuff have to be cut. | |

Bolivian Army Ending | |
| The Emperor And His Brother / int_79a0e313 | comment |
Bolivian Army Ending: Granted, the film tries to paint it's final scene as a moment of victory, with Chen Chia-Lo, Chu-Qi, Master Chou and all the Red Flower Society's members revealing the platform where the final battle took place to be an impromptu escape boat, and rowing away while their allies holds Lord Cheng and his soldiers at knifepoint. But there are less than a dozen of those leaders, they're stuck in a platform and an earlier line of dialogue states that the Manchurian have an entire army of thousands waiting to attack, while Lord Cheng and his mooks totals up to less than a hundred. What happens beyond that is never explained. | |
