Wiki.
Rape of the Sword is a 1967 Hong Kong wuxia film directed by Yueh Feng and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio, starring Li Li-hua, Lee Ching, Chan Hung-lit, Kiu Chong and Tien Feng.
This film is believed by many, including Yuen Woo-ping (action choreographer for the 2000 film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), to be a loose adaptation of Wang Dulu's 1941 novel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, even though it doesn't explicitly state so. It has been noted that during the early Cultural Revolution it was impossible for the Shaw Brothers Studio (located in British Hong Kong) to get in contact with Wang Dulu (who lived in mainland China) to acquire the film rights.
