The Imposter Trailers

With the cast list, you would almost expect this to be another Chang Cheh film. Two of Chang's proteges, David Chiang and Chen Kuan-tai go head-to-head in The Imposter which sees cinematographer Pao Hsueh-li back in the director's chair. Chiang plays Ko Liang, as master of disguise who puts his seven faces to good use when he goes to the aid of two young guardsmen Tseng Yung (Danny Lee) and Tseng Kan (Wang Chung) who have been framed by Captain Lo (Chen Kuan-tai) for murder.

Reviews
ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
dafrosts I adore David Chiang Da Wei. So when a movie comes along that incorporates his mischievous demeanor in all its glory, I watch it. Ge Liang, a many of many faces, permits David Chiang Da Wei to play around with mischievous side and once more save the day. While it is hard for me to believe Chen Kuan-Tai would play a Barney Fife type character, he does it with the usual flare and skill I have come to know from him. The only one Ge Liang cannot fool with his disguises is Su Su (Chen Ping), who is determined to keep him at her side. Ge Liang solves the problems for all (well, for those still living) with the usual conniving I expect from a David Chiang Da Wei character. A good watch for fans of Da Wei, Chen Kuan-Tai and other Shaw Brothers Alum.
