18 Swirling Riders is a 1977 Taiwanese swordplay and kung fu adventure directed by Lin Fu-ti, and a rare chance to see Chan Sing, Lo Lieh, Don Wong Tao and Chia Ling sharing one film.
It plays like a martial arts outlaw story: a sworn band, a righteous cause, and a mission that turns on whether everyone in the group can be trusted.
The riders are a disciplined gang who rob the corrupt and look after the poor, the old and the orphaned. Their leader sets his sights on a crooked official moving a fortune out of the capital, and the job pulls the band into danger from outside and from within its own ranks. Expect horseback action, sword fights and plenty of 1970s Taiwanese studio color.
What other titles does it use? It is also known as 18 Shaolin Riders and 18 Riders for Justice.
Who is in the cast? Chan Sing, Chia Ling, Don Wong Tao and Lo Lieh lead the film.
For another big-ensemble Taiwanese adventure with Chan Sing, try 72 Desperate Rebels (1978) DVD. For more Don Wong Tao and Lo Lieh, see Fatal Needles vs. Fatal Fists (1978) DVD.
