    This film has a number of names, East is Red, Swordsman III, Invincible Asia 2: Turbulence Again Rises , and Dong Fang Bu Bai: Feng yun zai qi .This is the third in a series of Swordsman Films.

This film is full of flying swordsman fantasy. Also have neat things like throwing needles that go through Cannons, A ship that turns into a submarine. Its an OK film, doesn't make me want to rent first two in series. But I can't part with more then 2 1/2 stars.

    No where near as good as Swordsman II, but still has its moments.
