ā¢ The movie won the Best Martial Arts Award at 24th Asian Film Festival and was the 1978 Top 10 Box Office Hits in Hong Kong.
ā¢ This film was the inspiration behind the Wu-Tang Clan's first album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).
ā¢ Only 10 of the 35 chambers are shown on screen, and San Te is only shown completing 9 of those (the highest chamber is seen first, when he over-ambitiously tries to complete it before the others).
