In Hu Jinquan's timeline, "The Loyal Ones" seems to mark a watershed moment; afterwards, his focus on action scenes in films gradually diminished, and he began to emphasize more metaphysical thinking. This film depicts a group of loyal侠士 from the Ming dynasty resisting the invasion of Japanese pirates, with the most brilliant aspect being the director's extensive use of "chessboard" formations as a metaphor for the confrontation between the two sides. In addition to the main cast of Xu Feng and Bai Ying, younger appearances of later martial arts stars like Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, and Yuen Wah can also be seen in the film.
