72 Desperate Rebels is a 1978 Taiwanese martial arts adventure directed by Lin Bing, set during the Ming dynasty and packed with the gadget weapons and themed henchmen that make late-1970s Taiwanese productions so distinctive.
Pai Ying, Chan Sing, Barry Chan, Tsung Hua and Lung Fei lead a big cast.
A notorious pirate chief gathers dozens of fighters from across China to take on the imperial government. Standing against him is an unlikely alliance: an imperial agent, the daughter of a murdered governor, a mercenary with his own agenda and a blind swordsman. With so many factions in play, nobody can be sure of anyone, and the film keeps throwing new opponents at the heroes.
Does it go by any other names? Yes. In some markets it was released as Killer Hillz.
Who directed 72 Desperate Rebels? Lin Bing.
For another ensemble Taiwanese adventure with Chan Sing, try 18 Swirling Riders (1977) DVD. For more Taiwanese swordplay from the same era, see 99 Cycling Swords (1977) DVD.
