The Challenger (1979)
Reviewed by: mpongpun on 2004-08-03
Norman Chu plays this “challenger” named Chin Chan Hung, who goes around all the gung fu schools challenging its Head Master to not close them down, but as we find, to find the guy who raped his wife. Can you see the logic here? Anyways, Chin Chan Hung’s plan seems to work. The guy (Phillip Ko) who raped his wife is feeling the heat, so he gets a money mongering layabout (David Chiang) to help him set up Chin Chan Hung in a deadly trap. The layabout decides to turn against the hand that feeds him by siding with Chin when he realizes that his best interests are to be with him. Good flick that has dashes of stupid comedy. The end fight was pretty good and overall, I’d say this flick is not a bad way to waste your time.
