Summary: Pretty good
[Legend of a Fighter]

A bit of a classic here in the UK, I remember watching this first when I was very young. It certainly isn’t up to standards of some truly classic kung fu films, but it’s certainly got to be up there in the hall of fame. It’s not exactly one of Yuen Wo Pings best either.

I recently saw the cleaned up version on the HKL DVD, which is excellent quality unlike the original format. Still, despite my praise for the film, it does seem a little dull these days, and I’d suggest anyone thinking about seeing this looks elsewhere. There are plenty of better kung fu films than this, but like I said, anyone who likes this film really should check out the HKL version of this, as it’s been remarkably cleaned up.
