PLOT
Director Chang Cheh and his stars Ti Lung and David Chiang were known as the "Iron Triangle" for their many successful films together. But perhaps they should have been known as the "Iron Rectangle" because of the invaluable contributions of action choreographer Liu Chia-liang (a.k.a. Lau Kar-leung). This post Chinese Revolution adventure of rebels battling warlords is a prime example of the quartet's remarkable skill behind and in front of the camera. Their teamwork made this a 1971 top ten hit.
A perennial Chang Cheh favorite, Anonymous Heroes focuses on two vagabond brothers, Meng Kang (David Chiang) and Tieh (Ti Lung) who, in the search for fame and fortune, join in a rebellion against a provincial general. Used to shaking down local vendors for food and gambling away their limited funds, they are recruited by a local rebel leader (Ku Feng) who promises them a glorious adventure. The rebels plan is to steal a huge cache of new rifles set to be delivered to the barracks of the local army. With the help of an officer’s daughter (Ching Li), their plan starts out well, but inevitably slips toward a heroic but tragic finale.
