Big Land, Flying Eagles (Mandarin: 大地飛鷹 Dàdì fēi yīng; literally Earth Eagle) is a 1978 Taiwanese spaghetti western-sequel desert intrigue adventure martial arts film directed by Ulysses Au-Yeung Jun. The film introduces Wang Kuan-Hsiung, Ling Yun, Paul Chang Chung and Sek Fung in lead roles.
Plot
Xiao Fung, a notable swordsman, has killed the son of a local warlord, Lee San, and the 3,000,000 tael that Lee’s son was transporting, now seems to have gone missing. Xiao Fung is now marked for death by Lee San, but finds protection from “Killer Eagle” another swordsman of great repute, and a band of nomadic Mongolian traders. Nevertheless, Lee sends killers of unusual backgrounds, including Buddhist monks, to hunt Xiao Fung down, while Xiao Fung seems curiously preoccupied with a woman who’s embroiled in unstated conflicts with practically everybody.
