ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Wong Fei-hung (Gordon Liu, THE 36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN) tries to gain entry into his father's martial arts school, but is deemed too immature to handle it. Eventually, a revered master (Chen Kuan Tai, HEROES TWO) agrees to train him. After hearing of a friend's murder, Fei-hung kicks his training into high gear in order to take on the killer (director Lau Kar Leung, DRUNKEN MASTER 2).
Along with Director Lau's extraordinary choreography, CHALLENGE OF THE MASTERS boasts a moral depth rarely seen in kung fu movies of the time. Fei-hung takes both a physical and spiritual journey, finding strength, maturity and even compassion on his path to vengeance. |
