YesAsia Editorial Description

Yuen Biao made a spectacular debut as a leading action star in Knockabout, an entertaining kung-fu comedy directed by his longtime buddy Sammo Hung! Yipao (Yuen Biao) and Taipao (Leung Ka Yan) are two never-do-well conmen who get a lesson in advanced martial arts techniques from old man Ku (Lau Kar Wing). With Ku on their side, the two become highly proficient marital artists, and are even able to defeat some formidable foes of their master's. But Ku is not all that he seems. In truth, he is a wanted criminal called "The Old Fox", and his generous offer to train the two friends has really been a clever ruse! All that Yipao can do is seek revenge, and thanks to the teachings of a surprisingly-skilled martial arts beggar (director Sammo Hung), Yipao may just have his chance! Full of lively acrobatic action that simply dazzles with its speed, grace, and power, Knockabout is a winning action comedy that demonstrates the crowd-pleasing charisma of Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung at its absolute highest peak!

Product Information

Director: Hung Kam Po

  Two young outcasts, Taipao And Vipao, are knocking about in the world, Loiving on nothing but their natural wiles. Bad luck, however, dogs their every step. For instance, the moment they con a gold-smith out of 20 tales of gold, Fatty the beggar makes away with their loot, substituting the gold with stone. Not knowing the substitution, the two go the a casino and makes a killing, only to be beaten and thrown out when they produce the "gold".
  Then they try to cheat a restaurant owner, and in no time somebody cheats them out of their last worldly belonging. The two realize their own inadequacy and go about to find a teacher to learn kung fu.....

Yuen Biao kick ass!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
If this is Biao's debut movie, well, he'd certainly won hands down! I'm gob-smacked by his agility, talent and flexibility at that age. Of c ourse Sammo knew how to get the best out of him and I can't help but think of them (plus Jackie) performing their monkey kungfu in their youth. Their acts were so natural and fluid I'm sure they got a kick out of it too (one more time for old times' sake??) I love it.

Leung Kar Yan did fairly good as Biao's older brother and hats off to Lau Kar Wing (though his grey hair wig looked plastered) playing the villian and as in previous collaborations with Sammo, could do no wrong. All the fighting sequences were top notch. Just fantastic. Sammo showed his flexibility despite his size and I think the 'skipping rope' routine was a master's stroke. Training sequences are always excellent and awe inspiring to watch and Biao put in his share to equal Jackie's in Drunken Master 1. Yes, Biao (known for his flips and kicks) did perform almost 6 backward flips on top of a standard square table.

Go on people, this is a master's collection. Getting rarer by the minute!!!

best biao movie for his kung fu Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
well what a movie this is.
sammo hung really does know how to get the best out of yuen biao.

biaos skills in this to me has been untouched in any movie. his fighting is fantastic, loads of flips and high kicks, shows monkey kung fu which is hard to do.
sammo fights very well also, also starring leung kar yan, lee hoi san, lau kar wing.
