Hong-Yip Cheng .... Chow Kan
Norman Chu .... Chang
Hou Hsiao
Yasuaki Kurata .... Takeno, Japanese ninjutsu expert
Hoi San Lee .... Bald Pupil
Chia Hui Liu .... Ho Tao
Chia-Liang Liu .... Drunken Master
Yûko Mizuno .... Kung Zi
Hitoshi Omae .... Japanese judo expert
Wilson Tong
Nobuo Yana .... Japanese spear expert
Siu Tien Yuen .... Tao's Teacher
notice anyone missing from these IMDB credits? like, Gordon Lau Kar Fei? who plays the frikkin' STAR of the movie, Ah To? yeeesh.
anyway, what a fun movie this is. Ah To maries Kudo (a Japanese girl, Kung Zi in the subs) and they have a difference of opinion which leads to Ah To being Challenged by the top Martial Artists from Japan.
he ends up besting them all in a variety of styles, and earning their respect.
good movie, easily one of Lau Kar Leung's best. it's no surprise the Chinese come out on top, but some of them could have given him a bit more run for his money. part of this movie was later incorporated into Jet Li's excellent FIST OF LEGEND, which also starred Yasuaki Kurata.
the DVD i have contains both a Chinese track (probably Cantonese) and the classic English dub. looks great, those Celestial DVDs are astounding. the subs make it clear that the Japanese speak Japanese, except for Kudo and the ninja master, which makes the dub a bit confusing at times.
