胡金銓再以明朝為背景，描寫混亂的政治環境之下，民間力量如何以家國為重，群聚對抗倭寇的故事。除了節奏凌厲的刀劍武打，胡金銓在本片中添加不少新鮮元素，像是日本浪人式的造型、武器，飛箭攻防，及運用棋盤做為謀略象徵等。徐楓飾演伍若詩，再度以少言寡語的方式表演，在所有男性為主的集團裡，成功塑造突出的女俠形象。本次放映為4K數位修復版台灣首映。

King Hu once again used the Ming Dynasty as the story background to describe how civil power put family and country first under the chaotic political environment, and gathered to fight against the Japanese pirates. Besides the fast-paced martial arts, King Hu added many fresh elements to the film, such as Japanese ronin-style outfits and weapons, flying arrows, and using a checkerboard as a symbol of strategies. Feng Hsu played Wu Ruo-shi, and once again performed in a less-spoken manner, successfully creating a distinguished image of the heroine among the male-dominated groups. This screening is the Taiwan premiere of the 4K restored version.
