Synopsis

Barely escaping the sacked and burning city of Hsian Yang, Princess Chu Tung-yung, her lacy in waiting and their bodyguard Chen must get to the relative safety of General Wang's forces. There they can deliver a cache of gold that will turn the tide of the war. But in order to do that they must cross treacherous terrain filled with bandits and rebel forces. Enlisting the unwilling aid of a pair of sword wielding con men the convoy embarks on its journey to save the Princess and defeat the rebels. With swordplay reminiscent of Zatoichi and Yojimbo, The Last Days of Hsian Yang is a riveting tale of honor, betrayal and redemption.
