Categorical Breakdown

Identity Politics1/10

The plot focuses on national and military conflict between Chinese patriots and a Japanese occupying force. Characters are defined by their merit, martial arts skill, and loyalty to the resistance movement, which is a universal meritocracy. The conflict is political and national, not based on intersectional hierarchy or the vilification of a specific race or immutable characteristic.

Oikophobia1/10

The entire story is a celebration of the Chinese home and nation, with the heroes risking their lives to defend it against a foreign, invading military force. The narrative centers on protecting the home culture and ancestors from an external threat, directly embodying gratitude for the nation.

Feminism2/10

The core action is driven by a group of male martial artists and a male military officer. The narrative focuses heavily on male-centric action, protective masculinity, and the complementary relationship of friendship/duty. Female leads do not dominate the action or represent a perfect, instant 'Girl Boss' figure, keeping the focus away from anti-family or emasculating messaging.

LGBTQ+1/10

The film is a 1975 martial arts action film. The plot makes no attempt to center sexual identity, deconstruct the traditional male-female pairing, or introduce gender ideology. The structure operates entirely on a normative basis, focusing on the national struggle.

Anti-Theism1/10

The conflict is secular, a nationalist war-time action thriller. The morality is objective, pitting righteous resistance against an evil occupying force, acknowledging a clear higher moral law. The movie contains no hostility toward religion or lectures on subjective moral 'power dynamics'.
