Containing some of the biggest names in kung fu cinema, at the peak of their popularity, this film boasts an EnsembleCast, where playing different characters, the entire movie showcases each respective actors taking turns to kick all kinds of ass against hordes and hordes of faceless extras. Imagine a {{Wuxia}} version of Film/TheExpendables, if you may. This film is pretty much just that.
