“Excellent period Kung-fu film. It features outstanding Kung-fu scenes, beautiful cinematography, and amusing and clever dialogue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe follow the u0026quot;Street Brawleru0026quot; (Yuen Biao), as he strives to learn martial arts from a master he has selected. The master is reluctant to teach, and the u0026quot;Street Brawleru0026quot; must prove his worth somewhat to learn.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlthough *slightly* over-plotted, this film has a unique balance of all the important elements one looks for in a Sammo Hung film. The comedy, the innovative and savage Kung-fu, and the unusual dramatic structure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is never boring, particularly the start of the film. It is so well made that I could watch at least another hour of this film if it were possible.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYuen Biao certainly rivals Jackie Chan in this film. It is his second starring role, but it is played with such ability you would never know.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, the endingu0026#39;s a little u0026quot;syncopatedu0026quot;, but the overall effect of this film is too much for any niggling details to harm it. A must-see in this genre.”
