This was the best Shaw Brothers film I’ve seen in awhile. When Celestial started remastering and releasing the Shaw catalog they pretty much covered the “classics” in the first couple years, so nowadays the releases don’t have so much notoriety. Or maybe they just aren’t as good…but The Black Tavern bucks a recent trend of good but non-essential releases. This is about as essential as Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan, or Boxer from Shantung, but without the stars, except for a brilliant Ku Feng. Basically the plot revolves around the impending arrival of a box of treasure to the “black tavern” (actually it’s never referred to as such) and the various gangs of thieves who plot to ambush it upon its arrival. The cool part of this film is that there is no “shining knight”, in fact no good guy at all, for the bulk of the film. Each of the thieves have their own charm and Ku Feng plays the most intriguing (and most dangerous) of them all. Most of the film is about the gangs fighting against each other, allying with one another, and betraying one another.
