Heroes Shed No Tears (1980)

[cranefly]

I've noticed this in the Chinese stacks at the library time and again, and each time I vacillated. I mean, surely I've seen it before. Then again, I'm not certain. Now that you point out that there's a Woo movie by the same name, that must be part of my confusion.

Just checked online to confirm it. Yes, it's the Shaw Brothers one that the library has.

The best way to resolve my uncertainty is just to get and watch it. From what you say, it bears revisiting every decade or so.
