Entre el larguísimo casting, destaca el casi siempre en sus papeles de villano, Ku Feng, como líder de la sociedad de los Hombres de Lung. Chung Wa en el papel de espadachín mercenario y Yueh Hua como el lugarteniente de Ku Feng.La trama principal de esta historia sería adaptada casi veinte años después en Comet, Butterfly and Sword, donde los papeles principales los interpretaban Michelle Yeoh y Tony Leung Chiu Wai.
