Synopsis:

From John Woo, the director of Hong Kong movie classics including Bullet in the Head and The Killer, comes the incredible Last Hurrah for Chivalry; his unique take on the Wuxia or heroic fantasy movie genre. This time the guns are replaced with swords but the trademark Woo themes of heroism and honour are much in evidence as the newly married swordsman Kao seeks revenge on the evil Pai for wiping out his family on his wedding night. Alone he cannot beat him so enlists the help of Chang and Green to exact justice upon Pai - John Woo style! This new brotherhood isn't as honourable as it first appears and the scene is set for a climactic deadly battle. This, like the rest of the film, is expertly choreographed and beautifully captured in John Woo's brutally inimitable style that will delight fans who prefer their action hardcore!"

Last Hurrah for Chivalry is a story about two killers for hire. The two assassins are master swordsmen with no allegiance. They decide to help out a local merchant to seek out revenge against a kungfu master. The plot contains multiple twists of deception, and leaving characters wondering who to really trust. The story ultimately ends with a revelation as to who truly has honor. Most of the swordplay is very fast-paced.

Martial arts drama about a glory-seeking swordsman obsessed with demonstrating his prowess.
