EUNUCH OF THE WESTERN PALACE is a nondescript kung fu film shot in Taiwan with a whole host of kung fu stars who don't really add much to the story. The tale features your usual white-haired master with a fine line in evilness who doesn't really do much apart from sit around barking out orders to his men.
Don Wong is the erstwhile hero of the piece, travelling around and interacting with various characters, the majority of whom don't really seem to have much to do with the aimless story; the females are particularly poorly served here. Meng Fei is another one who comes and goes without making an impact. Lo Lieh has the best character, a tragic fighter dying from tuberculosis, but again, he doesn't have much to do. The director of this one was none other than Wu Ma, the well known face and personality of Hong Kong cinema.
