The Sword Stained With Royal Blood is a 1956 novel by Hong Kong writer, Jin Yong, and a twice-told tale with numerous adaptations ever since the book became a bestseller in it's day.Shaw Brothers made their version of the story, with the same title, directed by Chang Cheh. The plot is kicked off when a young martial artist, Yuan Cheng Chih (Philip Ko), while trying to win over his crush, Wen Ching Ching (Candy Wen) who is from a noble family of warriors, ends up being embroiled in a conspiracy involving a dangerous killing machine, the assassin known as Golden Snake Man who was assumed dead years ago.A post-modern adaptation is released in 1993, one which is mostly an In Name Only adaptation with new characters, themes, and settings. It's not the first adaptation, but it is easily the most popularly remembered due to its over-the-top effects, extensive fight choreography, massive amounts of wire-fu, and featuring fan-favourite Yuen Biao and Danny Lee (Inspector Lee Ying of The Killer (1989) fame), the latter who plays a nigh-unstoppable killing machine and human thresher whose onscreen body-count totals up to at least a hundred.Ming Dynasty police officer, Constable Yuen Ching Shi (Yuen Biao) stumbles across a conspiracy in the martial arts world during a seemingly-routine arrest and escort assignment of a young woman involved in a robbery, where a fateful encounter with the powerful swordsman and killing machine known as Ha Suet-Yee the Golden Snake (Danny Lee), responsible for a bloodbath days earlier where an entire clan of cultists ends up dead, had Yuen questioning the true powers and motives of Golden Snake. After all, Golden Snake is reputed to be as elusive as he is deadly - nobody knows how he looks like, because whomever crosses path with Golden Snake will end up dying within seconds of facing him. After various run-ins and encounters between the two men, Golden Snake begins to recognize the sincerity of Constable Yuen to unveil the truth behind the true evils of the martial arts world, and both men are fated for the battle of their lives. And despite recognition of respect, Golden Snake remains a dangerous and powerful killing machine whose faith lies not in his friends, but his sword.See also Swordsman, The Magic Crane and Butterfly and Sword for similar kinds of movies. | |

Big Badass Battle Sequence | |
| The Sword Stained With Royal Blood / int_37b5c1b0 | comment |
Big Badass Battle Sequence: Two instances, where loads and loads of extras slaughters the living out of each other in two separate battle scenes. Naturally, the combatants on each side are in their own uniquely colored uniforms for the audiences to tell them apart. The Action Prologue have Fifth Master Wan’s soldiers (all clad in red and In the Hood) assaulting Master Wu’s hideout and battling Wu's guards (all in white uniforms), with plenty of casualties on both sides. Eventually Master Wan’s army emerged victorious, but suddenly Golden Snake arrives and wipes out the remaining forces, all 60-odd soldiers and Master Wan himself, in one fell swoop. The forest battle scene where Golden Snake and the poison sect members dukes it out, before being interrupted by rival clan members either clad in red or brown, with plenty of extras clashing alongside named characters on both sides. | |

Cool Sword: Golden Snake’s weapon, the Golden Snake Sword. Despite its appearance, it can slice through flesh like warm butter and can cleave through multiple opponents in a single swipe, as well as launching chi explosions through its blade when exposed to moon beams. In the hands of Golden Snake, the sword amassed a kill-count of at least 90 unfortunate mooks. | |

Wire Fu: EVERY. SINGLE. FIGHT. SCENE. Particular of note, the final showdown between Constable Yuen and First Master Wan in an underground cavern where both combatants leaps from pillar to pillar while fighting each other. (Filmed in Guilin’s Reed Flute Cave, the camera takes aerial shots of the cave’s stone pillars while on a separate stage, Yuen Biao and Elvis Tsui engage in wire-fu battle. The shots are later superimposed together to make it look like the actors are really fighting in the caverns. Check it out here.)
