Two years before her taking the Best Actress throne at the Golden Horse Awards with Back Alley Princess, Taiwan kung fu actress Polly Shang Kwan starred in this period martial arts production. The story of Rider of Revenge revolves around a convict on the death row, who has killed many people and hidden a huge stash of loot somewhere. Several parties race against time and each other to get him out of jail, including the dashing daughter of the chief constable (Polly Shang Kwan), an upright lone swordsman (Tien Peng), a chivalrous young man (Chiang Pin), and gangsters coveting the treasure. Hsiung Ting Wu, an assistant director to the legendary action film master Chang Cheh, made his directorial debut with this high-energy fight fest.
Esta película es un clásico, incluso se estreno es España en cines con un título de lo más llamativo: "El grito chino amenaza los continentes"
