I can’t believe Tarantino showed this in a festival. THE CHIVALROUS KNIGHT was made in 1973 and released in Hong Kong 7/12/1974, because the Kung-Fu movies were so many that often the distribution was delayed in order to have an available theatre. No camerawork or screenplay required, even the action is terrible, and the presence of the unspeakeable Bruce Lee’s girlfriend Betty Ting Pei add one more touch to the ridicule. The final combat shows inserted animal-attack scenese taken from a documentary about wilderness. Michael Chan plays the dumbest Kung-Fu hero ever: after killing the bulky Cheng Lei, he makes a missteps and gets killed by a trap!!! Someone said this is the kind of chop-socky that can be fascinating for fans, well, I’m a die-hard fan of Kung-Fu cinema since 1973 and I saw this just one time, no wishing to repeat the ‘experience’. Released with a brief documentary about an event with Bruce and Chan
