''Killer Darts'' is a 1968 Creator/ShawBrothers martial arts film starring Creator/YuehHua and Chin Ping.

A legion of bandits led by the bandit lord, Chou Chau, had massacred a village, with the warrior Liu Wen-Lung and his infant son, Liu Yu-Long, being among the few survivors. Raising his child to be a warrior, Liu Wen-Lung adopted an orphan girl, Yu-sien as his protégé. Years later, the adult Liu Yu-Long (Yueh Hua) ends up falling for his adoptive sister, and things are made even more complicated when another swordswoman named Lin Heung-Kam shows up trying to kill Liu Wen-Long for some inexplicable reason.
