The Blood Brothers (Traditional: 刺馬; Simplified: 刺马; Pinyin: Cì Mǎ) is a 1973 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Chang Cheh.

Now a general, Ma still in not about to let anything stand in the way of his goals - which now include defeating the 'long hair' bandits and Huang's wife Mi Lan (Ching Li).

As Chang recounts his tale to the local Marshall, held for the murder of his blood brother, Ma, the inevitability of his fate is always clear.

After Ma's men take their revenge, Mi Lan is left alone to reflect over the good times and, conversely, all the strife she's caused.

[3] Rayns commented that this film was "the first time that Chang Cheh and his regular collaborator [Ni Kuang] have found a plot mechanism to express the oppression as compulsive as the variations on the hero-model.
