Why it matters
“Clans of Intrigue” is a 1977 film directed by Chor Yuen (Hong Kong). Starring Nora Miao, Ti Lung and Yueh Hua. Wuxia is the Chinese genre of wandering swordsmen, rooted in classical literature; its fights blend real martial technique with the fantastic. It belongs to kung fu cinema’s golden decade, when Hong Kong studios such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest took Chinese martial arts to the world. To learn about the art itself, see our Kung fu page.
