A seminal film in a genre experiencing an unprecedented western diffusion and visibility: a bit of the old magic for a suddenly receptive audience.

Rating: 7/10 --
Raised the bar for two generations (and counting!) of the historical martial arts epic.
Planet S Magazine
The film soars on a lyrical mix of scruffy singing heroes, cross-dressing heroines, narcissistic villains, and fantastical action choreographed like dance.

Cheng's performance has a dancer's grace and razor-sharp intensity; if her sword doesn't get you, her eyes certainly will.

Combustible Celluloid
Hu brings an elegant, baroque quality to the genre, drawing on Peking Opera for the rhythmic, acrobatic fight scenes, locating them in a carefully constructed world that is not quite realistic but infused with a sense of the mythic past.

Product Description:
Cheng Pei-Pei stars as Golden Swallow in this influential 1966 martial-arts saga from pioneering director King Hu, one of the first to feature a woman fighter in the lead role. Set in 19th-century China (and featuring a very young Jackie Chan in a bit part), COME DRINK WITH ME has its heroine battling to rescue her brother from a band of kidnappers, in a role that helped pave the way for subsequent hits like Quentin Tarantino's KILL BILL. This fun, adventurous movie also features the excellent Yueh Hua in the obligatory kung-fu-master-disguised-as-beggar role.
