(Synopsis): The Brave Archer, also known as Kungfu Warlord, is a 1977 Hong Kong film adapted from Louis Cha's novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The film was produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio and directed by Chang Cheh, starring Alexander Fu Sheng and Tanny Tien in the lead roles. The film is the first part of a trilogy and was followed by The Brave Archer 2 (1978) and The Brave Archer 3 (1981). The trilogy has two unofficial sequels, The Brave Archer and His Mate (1982) and Little Dragon Maiden (1983). Part three of the famous four-part epic. Renowned film director Chang Cheh returns for a third time with Ti Lung, Alexander Fu Sheng and a stellar supporting cast in The Brave Archer 3 to create a far-out martial arts spectacle that rivals its two predecessors, a rarity in any film industry. Chang's heroes live for death while encapsulating themselves within their own world, but at the right time, will altruistically explode. That's what makes this film a blast.
