Duel with Samurai is a 1971 Taiwan film-wuxia directed by Chin Sheng-en and stars Chan Hung-lit as a Rōnin who arrives in China during the Ming dynasty, causing havoc among the martial world. The film was released on 3 September 1971 in Taiwan, and five days later on 8 September 1971 in Hong Kong[1]
During the Ming dynasty in China, the coastal areas were rampant. A Wokou who refers himself as the Nippon Ronin (Chan Hung-lit), colludes with the coastal local tyrants of Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces, along with cult religious groups. They occupy Baiyunzhuang and plundered everywhere. Young warrior Fan Chen-tung (Kong Ban) leads a resistance group to retaliate which prompts the Chinese martial world to share the same hatred against the Japanese and tyrants.
