Lo Chi, a selective writer/director/actor, both scripted and helmed this showcase for Hui Ying-hung, legendary director Chang Cheh’s discovery, and the protégé of equally legendary director Liu Chia-liang. In addition, he created a central role for Liu’s nephew, Liu Chia-yung. Both are engaging in this fast-paced, action packed comedy of kung-fu characters. Liu Chia-yung is saved from certain death at the hands of drug smugglers by a fisher girl, played by Hui Ying-hung, whose godfather is a “drunken master” and whose leprous godmother is mistress of the fairly off-putting Leprosy Boxing style. Want to bet he’ll need that at the furious finale? You’d win that bet, enjoying the martial arts antics all the way. Action choreographers Huang Hsia and Chen Ti-ke also appear in this amusing, entertaining winner where flesh really gets into the fighting.
