This virtually flawless martial arts fare presents a few essential details of the life of one of China's greatest nationalists (the second greatest perhaps, after Wong Fei Hung), Huo Yuan Jia, who is the master of Chen Zhen (Fist of Fury and remakes). Chen Zhen is not in this story as he is not taken in by Master Huo until later. The action is generally nice, if a little slow at times. Still inferior to the Legendary Fok TV series, but well worth seeing.
