The Deadly Breaking Sword is a 1979 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Sun Chung and starring Ti Lung and Alexander Fu Sheng.
In the film, a courtesan convinces a warrior to kill an underworld master for her. The warrior proceeds with breaking and entering into his target's household.
Warrior Tuan Changqing ( Ti Lung) meets courtesan Liu Yinxi ( Shih Szu) in a small town. Liu pleads Tuan to kill underworld master Guo Tiansheng ( Ku Feng), known as the "Killer Doctor", in order to avenge the death of her fiancé. Tuan and casino security guard Xiao Dao ( Alexander Fu Sheng) break into Guo's household and trigger the battle of good against evil.
Ian Jane of DVD Talk gave the film a positive review and writes "The film might seem a little dated considering that it came out in the mid-eighties, past the genre's prime by a bit of a margin, but it stands as a good example of how fun and exciting a well made Shaw Brothers swordplay could be when delivered by a dedicated director and a talented cast." [1]
The film grossed HK$2,716,494 at the Hong Kong box office during its theatrical run from 12 to 26 April 1979 in Hong Kong.[ citation needed]
