HKFlix.com: Martial Arts Raider's Profile

One of the better conceived and entertaining Chen Sing films during this period. Chen Sing plays an expert martial artist who is a fugitive on the loose and catches a rare deadly fever while escaping the police. A group of kind hearted villagers nurses him back to health by sharing their rare and potent herbs. Unfortunately, the Japanese is also after the herbs and has committed heinous acts against the villagers in order to steal the precious herbs. After witnessing the many deaths of the villagers, Chen Sing decides to come out his hiding and use his martial arts for the good of mankind rather than for his selfish needs. This is the movie why I truly like Chen Sing's fighting style, it's original and has some hard edge realism to it. And he does a very cool thing with a comb, which helps ignite his kung fu. It is vintage Chen Sing at his very best. The martial arts scenes are fast and furious and it was one of Yuen Wo Ping's ("The Matrix") earlier choregraphy works. Chen Kuan Tai ("The Boxer From Shangtung") also stars and plays the Japanese leader, and he plays evil very well. The only drawback of the movie is that they obviously use a stand-in for Chen Kuan Tai's character during the first half of the movie, because the character was wearing a scarf to cover his mouth, but his eyes and nose were obviously not Chen Kuan Tai. Perhaps Chen Kuan Tai was working on another movie and elected to show up at the second half of the movie. Aside from that, I highly recommend this movie for all Chen Sing fans for the martial arts as well as storyline. As a warning, there are scenes that are not recommended for young children to view.
