A fairly complex plot for a kung-fu movie involving the arrival in town of a wandering killer. Meanwhile all kinds of subplots are happening, from a counterfeiting gang, and the spoilt son of the local town boss killing an old woman. Top kicker Tan Tao Liang is the police chief and has to track down the young man, while his father tries to cause difficulties. All the characters have a nice little back-story. Top kicker Tan Tao Liang has a dark past, and owes his status as chief to the town boss, while smirking killer Don Wang is hired by the same boss to stop him - but does he have an ulterior motive? Special mention must be made to the albino 'hunchback' Tommy Lee (no, not THAT Tommy Lee) who has some cool jumping powers. The fight scenes are OK - top kicker Tan Tao Liang obviously has some great leg action. The end sequence fight between our 3 characters is very entertaining and well executed - with a vicious death for the loser! It also has some resolution at the end - usually kung fu films of this era stop dead after the last baddie dies.
