I'm a JC fan since I was 12, and I really prefer these older movies to his later cop/stunt stuff. I really dig this movie, even though the dubbing and sync are among the worst ever, and JC gets a little heavy on the comedy bits.He uses a lot of devices he used later in Young Master, which is a more refined film. That said, I think JC's fight work in this movie is his best up until Project A. That fight he has with the three spearguys (Pang Kong is one, don't remember names of other two)is very, very well executed. It seems so improvised, so on-the-spot, as opposed to the stuff of Lau Ka-Leung, let's say, who's more classical. ** 3/4
