“A dying Manchu kung fu fighter sends his three sons on a mission of revenge against the five Southern champs who defeated and humiliated him a generation ago. The three Manchus enter the town where the old champs live and begin challenging and fighting an unprepared group of once-powerful martial artists and their sons. After his counterparts in the other families take some serious beatings, Billy is forced to take a crash course from a noted teacher in North and South Eagle styles as well as Horsehead Fist. Only then is he able to confront each of the three Manchu fighters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a pity that Billy Changu0026#39;s career didnu0026#39;t take off as Jackie Chan – I guess there can be only one room for Jackie -as his fighting is fluid and powerful. Much less acrobatic than Jackie, and his technique has bite. As for the film, itu0026#39;s standard fare with a plethora of fights, some, especially in the finale, can be drawn out. Watchable but not on par with Crystal Fist.”
