Summary: Kung Fu Comedy
"The Master" is a kung fu comedy with Yuen Tak as the lead, playing a martial arts disciple in training. The movie contains some excellent martial arts choreography, but is muddled by some infantile comedy more befitting grade school children than young men in a martial arts school. Some of the situations are created just for the jokes, which are too buffoonish to be funny. Yuen Tak makes the most of his role by playing the smartaleck with superb kung fu skills. If you can overlook some of the dated comedy, you will enjoy watching some solid martial arts, especially in the movie's opening scene with Chen Kuan Tai.
