Quotes:
Leung Yee Tai:
Leung Chang, of all the kung fu fighters I've seen, you're the dumbest and most foolish.
Leung Chang: I'm not foolish. It's because you don't know how to teach!

This movie is what every old school kung fu should be about. The action is unpassable. With Yuen Biao, Lam Ching Ying and Sammo Hung in excellent form.
Also the acting is top class, Sammo and Lam Ching work perfectly as feuding brothers and Yuen Biao is convincing in his role as the prodigal son.
The movie is well balanced between humour and drama. Sammo is at his funniest when impressing his daughter (and the audience) with his calligraphy skills, Sammo at his best!
Unlike most Kung Fu movies the story in this one makes some sense and is seamless, there are parrallels between each person and is balanced perfectly between action and moving the story on.
The musical score is also top class, Frankie Chan does a wonderful job, the final fight music is perfectly suited.
A must for any Action fan.
