There are some great fu scenes in this one. The scene where Ricky Ching and Ga Hoi spar, as master and student, is sheer magic, and verges on the poetic. The climatic fight scene is long and of a high standard.

Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is mostly pretty dull or irritating. As a lead actor, Ricky Ching is only a little less irritating as Wai Pak in Cheeky Chap. Some good actors in the support cast try hard to repair this damage, but haven't much chance.

A mixed bag at best.
