Outlaws of the Marsh
The Water Margin, 1972
The Shaw Brothers' kungfu extravaganza concentrates on the Liangshan Mountain heroes' rescue attempt of the "Jade Dragon" Lu Junyi. He is sentenced to death due to a libellous suggestion that his collaboration with the outlaws helped them kill Shi Wengong, who murdered the gang's leader.
