Yuen Biao Does It Again.

This is another master class in tradition kung fu directed by Yuen Woo Ping. It tells the story of how a timid laundry boy (Played brilliantly by Yuen Biao.) has to step up from his seemingly cowardly ways and battle a ruthless mad killer who is terrorising the town. Yuen Biao plays the boy afraid of his own shadow to perfection. In the scenes where he is running away his acrobatic skill is patently obvious. In the full on finale he steps up a gear to impress even more with is newly found kung fu fighting skills. There is great support along the way by Leung Kar Yan (Minus his usual beard.) and Kwan Tak Hing playing the legendry Wong Fei Hung. Almost a forgotten classic, the usual Hong Kong comedy is a little hit and miss, and some Dragon Dance sequences may out stay their welcome just a touch, but this remains an action film that is well worth your time and effort.
