The Heroic Ones is a 1970 Hong Kong Shaw Brothers Studio martial arts film directed by Chang Cheh.

[2] In 880s imperial China, the Tang dynasty court no longer had effective control of its empire, and the national capital Chang'an was sacked by Huang Chao's anti-government army.

Following the victory, Li Keyong accepted an invitation for a banquet at military governor Zhu Wen's territory of Bianliang, unaware that it was a trap to assassinate him.

Li Keyong was not created "Prince of Jin" until 895, a good 12 years after expelling Huang Chao from Chang'an.

Empire Online gave The Heroic Ones four out of five stars, saying that although the film was "occasionally uneven in pace, [it] nonetheless delivers spectacular action and earns its rep as a must-have.
