# Rape of the Sword (1967)

1967 · Action · Hong Kong


## Synopsis

Rape of the Sword (盜劍) is a 1967 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Yueh Feng and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio, starring Li Li-hua, Lee Ching, Chan Hung-lit, Kiu Chong and Tien Feng. The film is believed by many, including action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping, to be a loose adaptation of the novel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by Wang Dulu even though the film does not explicitly state so. When the film was released in 1967 during the Cultural Revolution, it was impossible for the Hong Kong-based Shaw Brothers Studio to get into contact with Wang Dulu, who was in mainland China, to acquire the rights to adapt the novel into a film, hence Wang was not credited.
