Director Ching Siu Tung ( A Chinese Ghost Story ) got his first shot in the director's chair with Duel to the Death , an over-the-top martial arts saga that's considered a classic of the genre! China and Japan have been battling in a secret war for centuries, and every ten years, the best swordsmen from both countries meet for a duel to decide the winner of that war. Bo Ching Wan (Damian Lau) is China's current candidate, a Shaolin disciple who doubts the necessity of such conflict, but is willing to serve his nation nonetheless. His mirror is Kada Hashimoto (Norman Tsui), a Japanese swordsman eager for battle, who desires to bring glory not only to Japan but to his own unwritten legend. The two swordsmen are set to collide in a fateful duel, with the winner claiming supremacy for his home country! But first, they must contend with martial arts clan politics, hidden intrigue, possible betrayal, and ninjas. Lots and lots of ninjas. Duel to the Death gleefully dispenses over-the-top martial arts to go along with its solid genre plot, and Ching Siu Tung choreographs exciting, deliriously creative action scenes that can thrill audiences even decades later. Energy, speed, excessive swordplay, and more than a little zaniness are the hallmarks of Duel to the Death , a flying kung-fu extravaganza that most definitely qualifies as Hong Kong Cinema!
