Blood of the Dragon, also known as The Desperate Chase, is a 1971 wuxia film starring Jimmy Wang. [1] The film is a Hong Kong-Taiwanese co-production.
Chinese rebels attempt to oust Mongol forces that have conquered the land. A dying rebel entrusts a street urchin with delivering a secret message to a prince. A lone warrior, White Dragon, helps the street urchin deliver the message.
DVD Talk rated the film "3 out of 5" and wrote in its review, "Wang Yu always did better when his stuff was outrageous, and this one just misses that mark, though he looks better with a weapon than in hand to hand combat. The soundtrack, by a group called Flood (obviously inserted on the film by some US/Euro distributor) is pure 70's prog rock and adds a nice giggle to the proceedings. [1]
