About this movie

This is one of director John Lo Mar’s best flat-out, fight-filled, non-stop minimal martial arts masterpieces. There’s much more than five fighting styles on screen in this thrilling and fun tale of wushu warriors going at it in every variation!

Ratings and reviews

I have to be honest that I didn't care for the movie. Its better than some other martial arts movies, as the clarity of filming was decent of a Shaw Brothers movie. The plot felt a little weak and the fighting techniques while okay, it just felt lacking. The style was also hard to figure as it looked heavily taken from drunken monkey a Hodge podge of other Shaw Brothers techniques of pole usage or kicks. The ending was predictable and if they had a little differently, the students and new teachers could have been a better spin.

Favourite from childhood, good film
