Synopsis
Watch Last Hurrah for Chivalry (豪俠, 1979) online on iFILM — a Hong Kong swordplay film directed by John Woo years before he remade action cinema for Western audiences. The film already carries his signature: loyalty pushed until it breaks.
Kao Pan's wedding collapses under an enemy raid. Too outmatched to fight back himself, Kao engineers a friendship with Chang the Magnificent Sword, one of the best fighters in the region — buying his trust by covering his ailing mother's medicine and bankrolling her funeral. Chang rides out to settle the score, bringing a companion along for backup, unaware the man was hired to kill him once the job is done.
Lean and unsentimental, the film traces what happens when honour becomes a tool of manipulation. Stream Last Hurrah for Chivalry online on iFILM.
