在这部万人斩剧情/动作/武侠片中,本片是桂治洪導演生涯中唯一古裝武俠作品，格局精奇，拍出肅殺和深沉的氣氛。故事講述，清朝光緒年間，守衛森嚴的大內金庫，竟遭悍匪劫去黃金二萬兩；外號「萬人斬」的總捕頭冷天鷹(陳觀泰 飾)受命於三個月內，緝捕匪首方逢甲(谷峰 飾)歸案。方逢甲佈署大批匪徒喬裝村民，向冷天鷹施以突擊，冷在猝不及防下終告受傷……
Director Kuei Chih Hung was famous for his modern day crime thrillers, his horror flicks, and even his comedies. But if the only kung-fu film he ever made was this one, he'd still be spoken of with respect by even the most ardent martial arts movie fan.
桂治洪唯一的武俠片。双威AND双华。万人呆。前一个小时很精彩，知道女主角她出现了，结尾收得很邵氏流水线，总体凄凄惨惨切切。没有活口。一出好戏，终极大战掉链子。被人忽视的经典。草评几点。
