Additional information
With an entirely new set of actors, this movie continues the story from
Swordsman (1990). Blademaster and his martial arts school decide to retire
to a distant mountain. Before leaving, he visits his friends, a tribe of snake-
wielding women warriors. He finds that they have been attacked, and their
leader, Princess Yin-Yin, toward whom he has some romantic feelings, has
been abducted. The attacker is her evil uncle Fong, who years before
overthrew Yin-Yin's father and took over their sect. Fong also has
possession of a sacred scroll which tells how to achieve ultimate martial
arts power. Blademaster decides to help Yin-Yin and her imprisoned father,
and his romantic complications deepen when his childhood chum and Yin-
Yin are joined by a new rival. Blademaster thinks she is an innocent village
girl he has saved, but in fact she is Fong! The process of gaining ultimate
martial arts power requires self- castration and transmogrification into female
form.
