This splendid historical tale of the famed explorer is also a superlative martial arts thriller featuring an all-star kung-fu cast; including future lead "Venom" Kuo Chue; "Master Killer" Gordon Liu Chia-hui; and "Thundering Mantis" Liang Chia-jen. Synopsis: "The Four Assassins" (aka "Marco Polo"; 1975) is that rare Hong Kong kung fu film which features a westerner in a pivotal; heroic role.
