The film is one of the Chinese action films that helped there be more female action roles. Angelo Mao got her start as a "female Bruce Lee" in her role.[2]
The director King Hu used methods of framing to show action scenes in detail. Close to the end of the film, the director used cutting patterns and edge framing to show how similar all of the fighters' moves are.[3] Hu also filmed The Fate of Lee Khan back to back with The Valiant Ones.[1]
In the film, Wendy is a resistance fighter of the Chinese underground who wants to stop Lee Khan from attaining an important map. All of the resistance fighters want to restore Han rule. The villains are Lee Khan and his female partner Wan’er.[1]
