Lin Shi Rong (1979)

Lin Shi Rong: Directed by Woo-Ping Yuen. With Sammo Kam-Bo Hung, Tak-Hing Kwan, Biao Yuen, Pai Wei. A hot headed young butcher, who is also a kung fu disciple, gets embroiled in a feud with a rival shaolin temple.

“This has everything you want from a classic kung fu film – lots of superbly choreographed action, plenty of cheesy but fun humour, and even a reasonable plot, which actually gets quite nasty at times. The fighting really is the main reason to see it though, it really is something to behold. Plenty of somersaulting, using props, and crazy moves with ridiculous names, theres even a bit of weapon fighting too. The film never gets the coverage or respect it deserves unfortunately, but if you read this, I hope it will move you to watch it, love it, and tell all your friends. Trust me, if youu0026#39;re into old style kung-fu along similar lines to Drunken Master, youu0026#39;re in for a treat.”
