I loved this film when I first saw it as a kid in the 80s, which may be why Ive rated it as high as I have. Im not trying to be bias because of this reason, but I do think it is a good kung fu film. Though the only real problem is that it appears to rip off Jackie Chans earlier style of kung fu movies, and the English name (and Chinese name in fact too Hou Ching Kou Shou) is clearly based on Snake In The Eagles Shadow.
The mix of kung fu with comedy antics works very well in this film, and with the surprisingly good story and fights, its very entertaining and well worth seeing, whether you like Kung Fu or not.
Recommended.
Rating: [4/5]
