      Not Liu Chia-liang's best, but still a must-see classic
      Challenge of the Masters was Liu Chia-liang only second (or third? It confuses me sometimes) directorial effort and it shows. The "real" fight scene only started to happen in half of the film's run time since Lau was apparently more concerned with the philosophical aspect and moral of the story than its action scenes (which were solid, of course, but alas were few and far between).
