this is a Lau Kar Leung movie. made after CHALLENGE OF THE MASTERS, it again stars his half brother, Gordon Liu as real life hero Wong Fei-Hung. in this he has to battle a northern master after a long bunch of misunderstandings - the Northern master is tricked by the rival school, of course. it does kind of end abruptly though.
this is what makes the Shaws so cool- it's better than CHALLENGE due to the humor, which CHALLENGE tends to lack. real Hung Gar kung fu is shown, along with the appropriate northern stylings. no computer effects at all, nor chop-edit camera work- these actors know their stuff.
i think if you've studied martial arts this movie will be lots of fun, far more than if you are just a fan of the films, because you know how martial arts teachers can be.
whoever remastered this disc (English language is added to the Celestial DVD) also kept the subs and original language. nicely done.
