 |  |  |  |  With the cast of Gordon Liu, Wilson Tong, and Lam Ching-Ying, I thought this would be a "can't miss" classic; but this movie is awful in many ways. Start with an annoying lead actor (Wang Yue), unfunny comedy with a stupid plot, bad dubbing [on the version I watched], and the list goes on. Two stars for Gordon Liu and that's about it. You would think a fight between Tong and Liu would be cool, but it's just lame like the rest of this movie. And can anyone explain why the hell the tune "Dixie" is played continuously throughout this flick? | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

 |  |  |  |  Wong Yue plays a burdensome pickpocket who eventually quite by accident runs into a martial arts expert (Gordon Liu, with hair) who has lost his memory, but not his skill. Yue allures Liu into helping him with some thugs [Wilson Tong & his soon-to-be-familiar henchmen i.e. Lam Ching-Ying, Mars, Chong Fat] who have tricked a few bucks from him. They cook up quite a mess whit this evil people and Gordon's father [whom Gordon doesn't recognize] and eventually clash up with the big evil boss [I don't know who the actor playing him is]. This is a pretty standard and classical kung fu pic, nothing especially original. The story [by I Kuang, who is undoubtedly the most over-employed scriptwriter in HK movie history] is somewhat more interesting than most, but it's the authentic fighting action that lifts this one up from the endless pit of bullshit independent 70's productions. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
