REVENGE OF THE PATRIOTS (aka THE MING PATRIOTS, 1976) is a standard-issue historical kung fu tale of Ming patriots fighting off pursuing Qing troops in the period right after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. While the storyline is basically one long chase, the film is distinguished by location filming in Taiwan, a strong cast led by Bruce Li and Judy Lee, and above-average fight choreography by the Lau Brothers.
A group of patriots takes on the job of guarding the Princess (Ching Chien), daughter of the late Emperor, who is carrying the Emperor's Last Will and a case of the royal jewels. The lead escort, Li Ti Lung (Bruce Li), and his partner are joined by Li's kung fu-fighting sister, played by Chia Ling (aka Judy Lee). The three try to take the Princess to safety, despite pursuing troops, an advance party of hired killers, and a devious married couple who are trying to get the jewels for themselves. At one point, the heroes come up with an ingenious plan to hide the jewels and the will. They buy a pig, kill it, open its carcass, stuff in the cargo, sew up the carcass and send it floating down the river, with the aim of intercepting it at their destination. (WARNING: the actors actually slaughter a live pig, open its carcass and then sew it up. This is not faked.) After many skirmishes along the river between the escorts and their pursuers, the Qing troops and their kung fu fighting general (Chang Yi) take on the heroes in a sprawling confrontation in which the Ming patriots are joined by some unexpected allies.
