The plot offers tweaks on the themes of "no good deed goes unpunished" and "young pupil seeks master\training."

Kim Won Jin is a blast to watch (even with his "period" hair style). Lau Kar Leung, as always, is fantastic as well. As the callow youth, Chin Kar Lok, does a good job.

Overall it's a stylized, over-the-top, and all-around fun flick!
 

Does it get any more badass? Nope, not really.
 

Well, maybe my expectations were too high. Lau Kar Leung and Gordon Liu are both excellent. The younger stars are fine too. The fights are great. The pieces are all great. The sum of the parts, however, seems a bit lacking.
 

I have been burned by kung fu box sets before. Sub-par movies that have been cropped, bad dubs without subs, and really bad transfers.

This set is just the opposite. Great movies that are true classics. Celestial did a fantastic job with the disks too. They clean, clear, and crisp. The colors pop out at you. The audio is good. The subs are fine. Nice packaging and notes.
 

I saw this in a theater years ago and it blew me away. Whenever I watch it again I am reminded how great it is (even though Jackie is just a -little- too old to be playing Wong Fei Hung at that age).
