Great Yuen Woo-Ping kung fu film of the early 80s, fast-paced andcomedic. It's also undoubtedly one of Donnie Yen's best films. There is a particularly memorable "breakdancing" scene and the Taiji is pretty good, at least by cinema standards. One memorable scene, of many: the deranged, spoilt son sticks a sword in his father's neck, and his father's last words are: "You're not allowed to skip school any more!"
