No soy muy aficionado a estas pelis, pero es que viendo las capturas no cabe duda de que tiene una pinta c*nuda.

IRON CHAIN FIGHTER (aka IRON CHAIN ASSASSIN, 1974) is a much more atmospheric kung fu film than usual, with touches of film noir, as star Ti Lung prowls a remote Chinese town at night in search of an elusive crimelord who'd framed him and caused him to be jailed for 15 years. The film was shot entirely at the Shaw Bros. studio with many outdoors settings recreated in lavish sets. (What the Five Venoms could have done with these sets!)
In early 20th century China, Ti Lung plays a loner, armed only with a length of iron chain, who seeks a mysterious figure named Lan Fei. He gains an ally in the form of Shang Lin (Li Ching) who wants to learn what Lan Fei knows about the killing of her husband 15 years earlier. Jason Pai Piao plays Mr. Cho, the town boss who offers Ti $5000 to back off. A dapper man named Mr. Tu arrives with an arsenal of throwing knives and a set of questionable loyalties. In response to all this activity, Mr. Cho calls on the Heroic Seven (or Invincible Seven, depending on who's doing the talking), a team of legendary fighters, some of whom are women, who emerge from hiding to take out Ti. The local police force gets involved also. Ti gets into lots of kung fu fights, using only his chain and his feet as weapons. The frequent fights involve kung fu, knives, and, ultimately, guns. There is a dramatic twist ending.
Ti cuts an impressive figure as a defiant loner, but the film crams in too many major characters, including some unlikely allies for the hero. It remains compelling but gets a little confusing as members of the Heroic Seven keep coming out of the woodwork. On the plus side, Ti Lung is as good a fighter here as he's ever been, swinging and twirling the chain to lethal effect, but also delivering assured kung fu kicks as well. Jason Pai Piao makes a confident opponent, although some of the other lead actors are unfamiliar.
