When you combine "Kung-fu" Lau Kar-leung with the greatest kung-fu film character of all time, Huang Fei-hung, you get one of the finest "pure" kung-fu films ever made, with the thrills coming a mile a minute. The director's dynamic brother, Gordon Liu Chia-hui, faces the king of screen villains, Wang Lung-wei, in one of his few anti-heroic roles. Together, they create a stunning climax unparalleled in its adeptness and invention.
