Like other Shaw Brother ...I agree with your review. Like other Shaw Brother "sequels", Golden Swallow begins with a confusing semi telling of the previous film, in this case Come Drink With Me. In Come Drink With Me, Golden Swallow is poisoned and taken to the woods and helped to recover by Drunken Cat. In Golden Swallow, we are given the confusing plot of Golden Swallow being poisoned and helped in the woods by Golden Whip. With martial arts films already having multiple titles and occasional dialogue lost in translation, its things like these that even further make these movies confusing and hard to follow. As for the rest of the movie, it is great sets and action with a poor plot. I like to remember the Swallow of Come Drink With Me. I would still recommend this film to fans of Kung fu and Shaw Brothers films but I don't think it is anywhere near the classic that some people claim it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09997470026473224977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5230992985317364959.post-14119554495097688792017-05-26T16:07:09.896-04:002017-05-26T16:07:09.896-04:00i think your review is spot on. i saw "Golde...i think your review is spot on. i saw "Golden Swallow" for the first time last night, and would have preferred if the Golden Swallow character had not simply been a supporting actor in her own movie. If the female role in this film had been dissociated from the Golden Swallow character, the movie would have played better. The Golden Swallow of "Come Drink With Me" was a constable and a warrior, and very self-assured; the character in "Golden Swallow" is just an emotionally-confused young woman, who happens to have some fighting skills, which we don't get to see very much of in this movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195090018961362211noreply@blogger.com
