A production of the Shaw Bros. studio, THE MAGIC BLADE (Tien ya, ming yueh tao) is a movie directed by Yuen Chor in 1976.
Fu Hung-Hsueh and Yen Nan-Fei, two masters in martial arts, unite in order to recover the "Peacock Dart", a powerful weapon before the mean Yu seizes it. Once in possession of the weapon, our heroes will have to defend themselves against the assassins of Yu who want to have the "Peacock Dart" back for their master.
