About this movie

Arguably, the greatest kung-fu film director of all time is Liu Chia-Liang. Unarguably the greatest kung-fu film character of all time is Huang Fei-Hung. So what do you think would happen when you put these two titanic talents together? You get one of the finest “pure” kung-fu films ever made, with nary a character getting killed, but the thrills coming a mile a minute as two pugilism schools tests each other for a full hundred minutes. Lau returns his dynamic adoptive brother, Gordon Liu, to the leading role, then gives the king of screen villains, Wang Lung-Wei, one of his few anti-heroic roles... just in time for a stunning climax unparalleled in its adeptness and invention.

I can see why the movie was rated high by others in reviews on the Internet. I don't recall watching it during the glory days of Shaw Brothers, but this is one of the few least violent movies that they made, but it show techniques and styles that I wouldn't have noticed back then. I always knew that Gordon Liu was a talented practitioner but I never fully appreciated the artist that played the Northern Kung Fu expert. I'd seen him in so many roles in Shaw Brother movies as always the 'heavy' but this one, he's a 'good' guy plus it really showcased his abilities as a practitioner. Together, they filmed an awesome ending showcasing the styles and their abilities in such a tight space. This one has risen from obscurity in my collection to top classic.
