Overview
Guo Jing and Yang Kang are the sons of two rebels. The rebels are killed by imperial soldiers and the boys are rescued by six pugilists later. The pugilists agree to separate the two boys, tutor them separately in martial arts, and let them meet again when they have grown up, to determine whose abilities are better. Guo becomes the student of the “Seven Freaks of Jiangnan” while Yang Kang becomes the foster son of a Jurchen prince inadvertently.

Viewing Notes
Such a weird, screwy movie but also pretty awesome. Some of the fight scenes, especially early on, are pretty great! I still have no idea how the title relates to the film. Now I’m interested to watch the sequels.
Someone should clue Amazon in to the fact that closed captioning is not the same thing as subtitles though.
