Duel with Samurai (太極劍決鬥武士刀) is a 1971 Taiwanese wuxia film directed by Chin Sheng-en, starring Chan Hung-lit as a rōnin who arrives in China during the Ming dynasty and causes havoc in the jianghu. The film was released on 3 September 1971 in Taiwan, and five days later on 8 September 1971 in Hong Kong.[1]
The film is set in China during the Ming dynasty when the wokou are ravaging the coastal regions of Zhejiang and Fujian. The wokou's leader, a rōnin, colludes with local lowlifes to plunder villages and towns. Fan Zhendong, a young swordsman, rallies other martial artists in the jianghu to rise up and resist the wokou incursions.
