This “pure, unfiltered example of the classic kung fu movie” (Mark Pollard, Kung Fu Cinema) about a rivalry between two kung fu schools stars Gordon Liu as the legendary hero Wong Fei-hung. The film’s fight scenes, with their fidelity to classic martial arts technique and etiquette, make it the perfect lead-in to a cross-cultural discussion of movies and martial arts.
