Our take

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!
