Come Drink With Me Again and Again


I managed to walk down memory lane tonight to feel again the nostalgic vibes of the mid 1960s through one of the most classic wuxia films to come out of Shaw Brothers Studio in Hong Kong. Come Drink with Me directed by famed King Chuan stars the delectable and vivacious Cheng Pei Pei as Golden Swallow combating a brigand of outlaws trying to set up a prisoners exchange.


Though, without the aid of computer graphics and special effects, the movie continues to hold me in awe and the other stars like Yueh Hwa as the Drunken Cat and Chen Hung-Lieh as Jade Faced Tiger do provide excitement to the film through their acting prowess.


A good movie and ranks in the top league of sword play movies such as the benchmark making The One Armed Swordsman and the original Dragon Inn.
