Restored and uncut widescreen version with optional English-dubbed audio so you don't have to read your movie and try to watch the action too. Going Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactured makes this domestic release an instant collector's item.
When the film begins, a guy calling himself Butterfly (Lu Feng) emerges the victor of a pretty remarkable fight scene where he smokes his opponet and makes off with a rare and valuable jade statue. His employeers, some unscrupulous local government types, want his help in taking out a group of pesky rebels who are making trouble for them in the territory.
Meanwhile, a local judge (Sun Chien) finds himself mixed up with them and has to hire himself a local swordsman to ensure his life remains safe when he starts looking into the death of a man at the hands of his sneaky relative, a prince.
Various fighters show up as the plot becomes more and more convoluted and they take sides in the incident and a list of all who are loyal to the treacherous sneaky relative is put inside a HOUSE of TRAPS. Eventually everyone winds up doing their thing inside the literal house of traps filled with equal parts treasure and deadly danger as the good guys square off against the bad guys and crazy traps cut people up.
The plot for House of Traps is pretty messy but once the set up is over and done with and the action starts moving along, you probably won't be bothered by it so much.
