I have always enjoyed Ching Siu Tung's work in front of and behind the camera. And he was one of the true innovaters in HK choreo. As an actor, he might not have had the charisma to headline on his own. But he is great as part of a duo. Meng Yuen Man was kind of an acquired taste for me. But the more I saw of his work, the more I warmed to him. Sadly he retired from the biz, after supposedly suffering a heart attack in 1981. Kid could have been a contender. If you like him in this, check him out in COWARD BASTARD, HELLS WIND STAFF and DAGGERS 8. He grows on ya'.

Anyway, the chemistry between these two rascals is great here. And most of their silly shenanigans are actually pretty funny to watch.

An important part of the plot revolves around Casanova's character going insane, when he is cheated out of his bussines. And I have to say, his crazy-guy schtick does get old after a while. Luckily for us, his mental instability causes him to frequently wig out and unleash on everyone around him. Thus we are treated to several displays of his impressive array of kicks.

Meng Yuen Man and Ching Siu Tung don't disappoint in that depatment either. They have each other's timing down, and are both accomplished acrobats and screen fighters. And with all the trouble they get into in this movie, they are given ample opportunity to display their skills--both of the comedic, slapsticky kind, as well as straight up fu fighting.

The movie certainly has its shortcomings. But on the whole, it works fairly well. And the end fight is truly one for the ages. Casanova just explodes in a fit of insanity, and his two comedic cohorts, bring the heat as well. Yen Shi Kwan is ferocious as the villain, and really lets loose on the heroic trio. This fight is a must-see, and a good reason to check out this film.
