Now I don't watch kung fu movies for their plots, but I do like to see a logical thread that ties together the beginning, middle, and end. Either this movie was flawed in its editing, or I happened to watch a badly chopped up version.

The movie starts out promisingly, as a squad of loyal Imperial guards race to take an infant prince to safety from the forces of a usurper. The bodyguards are all killed, but the infant is found by a passing monk. The baby grows up to the hero of the movie, played by Casanova Wong. Meanwhile, the lead villain gives his allegiance to the Manchus and becomes a general in their army.

From this point on, the movie is a jumbled mess of training sequences and fights. Characters are suddenly introduced, then disappear, and Wong's character spends a lot of his time running back and forth, arriving late on the scene as his friends, fellow monks, and his masters are killed by the Manchus.

Many martial arts films have a much better transition from the training part of the film to the final showdown.

Overall, it's not a terrible film per se, but there are other films featuring Casanova Wong that are superior and better worth your money, like Warriors Two.
