King Hu's episode in the omnibus film Four Moods, directed by four different directors, "Anger is a footnote to the inn trilogy--a sustained cinematic fugue of complex alliances formed, broken and exploited as officials from the Manchu Board of Punishment pause at an inn while conducting an obstreperous prisoner and become involved in a black marketeering ring. Anger has an easy, smooth pace, much quiet humor, and an ironic ending with most of the cast dead from their own greed and the innkeeper's sister (the splendid Hu Chin) loaded down like a pack-horse with the financial object of her desire." Derek Elley, International Film Guide
