When Lee Khan, an official working for Mongolian Emperor Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty procures the battle map of the Chinese rebel army, Chinese resistance fighters, aided by an undercover girl-gang within Khan’s ranks, strive to corner him in an inn.

The third installment in King Hu’s unofficial “Inn Trilogy,” The Fate of Lee Khan further exemplifies the wuxia grandmaster’s formal wizardry. Stripped down to the essentials of combat and intrigue, this showcase for Hu’s rhythmic flair is a masterclass in movement and editing. Hail to the King!
