Martial Club Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
In the opening sequence fans are treated to a marvellous lion dance display. This is no ordinary dance as the lion dancer is atop 3 levels of supporters to get to the 'green'. It's unusual but not impossible as it's rarely done due to its difficulty. You may recall Jackie Chan displaying a different layout to taking the 'green' in The Young Master. A few tips about the rules of the dance are introduced (bet you didn't know them!).

Gordon played a young Wong Fei Hung still learning the ropes from his father Wong Kei Ying at their martial arts school. At one scene, watch the basic stance display by Gordon and footwork with his father and later excellent footwork again at the rival martial arts school when he was put to the test under the guise of 'testing the strength of the fabric'. Director Liu Chia Liang showed even a simple movement can be deceiving.

Fans, do not blink an eye when the challenge sequence takes place in a narrow alley (from 6ft wide to 4ft wide). Think it's a bit of a squeeze? Watch - Here the director again choreographed how various forms of the Hung Fist techniques can be adapted to different environment. Mind boggling action as Gordon goes head to head with Johnny Wang.

 Wong Fei Hong heaven Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Wow!!! This is a classic. It is indeed one of Lau Kar Leung best direction. To me, and I watch a lot of kung fu flix, the end fight of the movie is in the top five scene of all time for a Kung Fu movie. Superb Baby!!!

Flawed, but worth watching Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
If you are a fan of martial arts movies, then you've seen this tired plot many times before -- a conflict among rival martial arts clubs. Yawn. Moreover, in the first half of the movie, too much time is wasted on seriously unfunny scenes of kung fu comedy.

But keep watching. The movie's highlights make it worth your time. The film opens with an astounding lion dance sequence. The story really picks up with a marvelous fight scene in a theatre, a scene which rivals the famous scene from "Come Drink With Me" for its ingenuity. Finally, the movie culminates with a spectacular fight in a narrow alley.

This is Gordon Liu's movie. His Wong Fei-Hung character is seen to grow from a callous and foolish youth to a serious martial arts master. His role and the highlights described above make this movie one to buy.

THE INCREDIBLE TALENT OF GORDON AND KARA Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This film is really something special.The fight scenes in this film are right up there with almost everything this team puts out together.Filmed in 1981,this is the first film to be made after the incredible My Young Auntie, Kara's flawless martial arts techniques with a spear or even hand to hand combat are demonstrated.Such a beauty on screen as always.Gordon's fight with Wang Lung Wei in the alley at the end is something that will make any true Shaw fans not believe their own eyes.The choreography that this team is capable of is right up there with the Venom's.Hsiao Ho doesnt get that much screen time,except when they are trying to escape from a trap in an opera,but the movie is so good it doesnt matter.Do not miss out on this film,one of the teams finest.

Real martial arts performance Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
It is excellently directed by Liu Jia Liang. The actions are well cheroegraphed and the contents of the show is entertaining and bring out the meaning of being humble as a respectful hero. Winning is not killing the people but over the skills. Worth the money.

Top five Lau Kar Leung flick for sure! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I'd put this movie up there with Eight Diagram Pole Fighter and 36th Chamber of Shaolin, definitely of the better Shaw Brothers in terms of fighting, cinematography, and especially storyline. Compelling characters, familiar faces in fresh roles, and Kara Wui is excellent as well! Get it this instant!

I waited for 15 years Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Since my only video version was stolen 15 years ago I search everywhere possible to replace it and when Shaw Bros started to release thier movies I waited for this day to come. OH...Yeah! the movie is really good, it outlines what you should and shouldn't do in lion dance and against other clubs. The fights are awsome.

Another Shaw Brothers Classic Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This film is directed by Liu Chia Liang , so you know your in for a treat. This film contains, for me, the greatest 1 on 1 unarmed fight scene ever commited to film.. Gordon Liu vs Wang Lung Wei's fight in the alleyway takes some beating - dynamic, authentic kung fu.
