In this 1984 Hong Kong martial arts historical action adventure drama, a member of the emperor’s guards goes on the run after disobeying the orders of a treacherous court advisor who wants to take the throne.
violence
People are slashed, stabbed or decapitated with swords, resulting in stylised spurts and sprays of blood. In a sequence filmed from a distance, a man uses a fantastical fighting move to tear an internal organ from his opponent’s body.
sex
A man is shown engaging in sexual activity with three naked women during a short sequence featuring sexualised full-frontal nudity and implied fellatio. Other scenes contain moderate visual and verbal sex references.
injury detail
Bloody injuries, dead bodies and severed body parts are seen in the aftermath of violence. Several characters take their own lives in order to preserve their honour or avoid a worse fate, resulting in further bloody detail.
additional issues
There is occasional moderate threat. A scene contains a passing reference to prisoners having been sentenced to death for committing rape. A villainous eunuch character is depicted as stereotypically effeminate, and is repeatedly shown applying makeup. Other issues include mild bad language (‘bastard’).
