Nearly four decades before Kill Bill, the groundbreaking Shaw Brothers classic Come Drink With Me set the bar for sword-wielding kung fu heroines. “A revelation in martial arts filmmaking” (Ross Chen, LoveHKFilm.com), it stars legendary fight queen Cheng Pei-Pei (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as Golden Swallow, a deadly agent sent to rescue a kidnapped official from a bandit clan. To take down the clan’s five ruthless leaders, she teams up with a hard-drinking martial arts mentor, who helps her to cut a path of destruction through her enemies. Featuring pioneering wire work, landmark fight scenes, and a stylized sense of cool far ahead of its era, Come Drink With Me “may be the most influential martial arts film of all time” (David Walker, DVD Talk).

One of the greatest martial arts films ever!

A wonderful Shaw Brothers film that has certainly influenced many, many filmmakers years after its original release.

It's A Classic

This is a classic film because this was one of the revolutionary films for cinema but it may feel a little outdated because this it's from the late 60's, though it must have been a phenomenon back then. Overall, a must own for fans of the kung fu and wuxia genre, especially being a dragon dynasty release.

OH YES!

man im surprised that america hasnt tried to cash in on classics such as this one cuz it will definitely sell especially with believable actors and top notch choreograhy without undercrank i might add. i am definitely getting this one for not only the film but the commentary cuz bey logan besides ric meyer gives the best commentary and info on actors, directors, stuntmen etc. and the interviews with 2 of the most talented actors of the 60's and early 70's with lovely leading lady cheng pei pei and the deceptive yueh hua and im glad to know they both are alive and kicking still. btw yueh hua currently resides in canada and cheng pei pei speaks english like an american cuz she did live in l.a. at one time so pick this masterpiece up you wont be dissapointed

This was a very good martial arts film.

Although many Jackie Chan fans probably did not or do not know this was Jackie Chan's earlier films. He played a kid in this and he was only twelve at the time.
