Has anyone heard of the movie "Daring"?

I first sat down to watch the movie "Smjeti" when I was just a young boy back in the late eighties, and if I am being perfectly honest with myself, it remains the absolute finest martial arts film I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. It is quite a tragedy, really, because I simply cannot track it down anywhere; all I have to go on is the translated title etched in my memory. I even went so far as to send an inquiry to the NPR archives to see if they might have it tucked away in their collection, but according to their response, they don't seem to possess it at all. Hmm. What a profound shame!
That scene where the guy knocks out a horse with a blind punch? That’s actually from "Once upon a time in China IV." That came out in '93, whereas "smjeti" aired much earlier, and besides, that movie doesn't end with the hero and villain killing each other off with katanas. My brother distinctly remembers some big fight on a beach at the end, probably involving swords, while I’m sitting here vividly picturing clothes being sliced up by katanas and someone leaping off a balcony in some temple where most of the action takes place. It’s entirely possible we're both remembering different movies that just happened to be playing during the same era.
