Trivia

While shooting the kick boxing match between actor Yongchen Liu (playing Xiao Zhang) and Yachao Wang (playing Li Er), Liu was hit unconscious and sent to hospital. Because of that a stuntman was used to double Liu for when Xiao Zhang gets kicked the final time by Li Er out of the boxing ring. The first stuntman ripped a muscle in his left shoulder when testing the fall. A second stuntman dislocated his left shoulder while filming the first shot. Both were sent to hospital. Finally, pressured by the hospitalization of three people in a day, the director Szeto did the stunt himself. He did the stunt several times before getting the shot he needed.

User Reviews

Sammo is a star

Not a brilliant Kung Fu film by any means but still a very watchable and enjoyable one. Sammo Hung is a real star who even at his age can still fight with convincing skill. He has come a long way since his role as the fat boy losing to Bruce Lee in the opening fight in Enter the Dragon. He also shows in this film what a great actor he is and steals every scene he is in. The supporting cast are all very good and clearly very highly skilled in Martial Arts. The bad guy is suitably menacing and has one of those faces that can change in an instant from innocent looking to totally evil. In all a very enjoyable film although I am sure die hard Kung fu fans may feel it is a little light weight.
