We were very impressed with the fight choreography in this one. The "Scorpion Technique" in particular is a blast to watch, but every fight sequence is packed with ingenuity and creative moves you haven't ever seen before! |

| Overview: | This cult classic should satisfy any fan of over-the-top choreography. Yuen Jan (Kim Won Jun) makes his on screen debut while turning in an awe-inspiring performance as the villainous master of the scorpion style. The style has never been displayed with such sheer athleticism, making this film a must see based on nearly this alone. He literally scuttles across the floor on his hands and knees with one leg raised high and poised to strike. Yu Shu (Chin Kar Lok), while aspiring to be a swordplay comic book artist, drifts off into a world where he rescues a servant girl from the clutches of a slave trader and is sheltered by a restaurant owner (Lau Kar Leung). When the restaurant is burned down and the girl is recaptured, Yu Shu is forced to take on the slave trader's bodyguard/son - The Scorpion King.
