"The Swordsman II: The East is Undefeated" is a martial arts film directed by Cheng Xiaodong and starring Jet Li, Brigitte Lin, Rosamund Kwan, Michelle Reis, etc.

"The Swordsman II: The East is Undefeated" is adapted from The novel "Swordsman" edited by Jin Yong. During the adaptation process, Tsui Hark transformed Dongfang Bubai, a supporting character who only appeared in 4 pages in the original book, into the protagonist of the film. Since "The Swordsman II: The Undefeated East" has a learning relationship with King Hu's 1990 version of the movie "The Swordsman", the understanding of arena and chivalry in the movie "The Swordsman" has also been retained in the film, telling the story Ling Guchong and Dongfang Bubai gradually developed feelings after several encounters. When Ling Guchong discovered that Dongfang Bubai had killed his senior brother, he went to seek revenge from Dongfang Bubai for the sake of righteousness.

Linghu Chong

The great disciple of the Huashan School, he has a bohemian personality. While going down the mountain for work, he unexpectedly discovered that Dongfang Bubai was colluding with Japanese pirates, so he planned to get rid of Dongfang Bubai with Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian and others. Later, Ling Gu Chong mistakenly regarded Dongfang Bubai as a beautiful girl and fell in love with her.

The leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, he is highly skilled in martial arts and ambitious. Because Dongfang Bubai practices the Sunflower Book, Dongfang Bubai's appearance has changed to that of a woman. After meeting Linghu Chong, he was regarded as a beautiful girl by Linghu Chong, and he himself was attracted by Linghu Chong's free and unrestrained style. So, he asked his concubine to spend a night with Linghu Chong to realize his impossible love.

After learning the truth about the murder of Huashan disciples, he decided to fight Dongfang Bubai for life or death.

So he ordered Gu Chong, Ren Yingying, Xiang Wentian, Ren Woxing and others to go to Dongfang Bubai for revenge. In a fierce fight, Ling Gu Chong's face was scratched, Ren Woxing was blinded in one eye, Xiang Wentian's calf was injured, and Dongfang Bubai fell into the cliff.

With its wonderful action scenes, distinctive characters and tight rhythm, the film makes the audience have no time to care whether the story is reasonable or not.

In 1992, Jin Yong specifically called Tsui Hark and clearly opposed Brigitte Lin's starring in the film "The Invincibles of the East", but Tsui Hark defied public opinion and finally let Brigitte Lin star in the film "The Invincibles of the East". The main reason why Tsui Hark chose Brigitte Lin to play the role of Eastern Invincible was because he liked Brigitte Lin's beauty.

Brigitte Lin is one of the greatest contributors to the undefeated East. Her appearance, her clothes, her eyes, her sometimes charming and sometimes masculine, sometimes gentle and sometimes domineering personality, her various amorous feelings, her sadness and despair, are all... Transformed into a classic. Although the movie talks about rivers and lakes and the struggle for hegemony in the martial arts, in the end it still boils down to the word "love". Dongfang Bubai's final cliff jump pushed the entire movie to a climax, and that kind of decisive departure shocked the viewer's soul. And the visual beauty is stunning.
