Overview

Husker is a student of the Shaolin monks, learning kung fu so that he can avenge his uncle who was murdered by the Manchus who control the province. He leaves his training early, desperate to teach the killers a lesson, and teams up with a martial artist monk who is teaching a group of factory workers how to defend themselves. When the Manchus strike again, Husker and his Buddhist pal decide it’s time to even the score.

Drove home to my parents’ home since my brother is is town and fired up Sammo Hung’s The Iron-Fisted Monk (1977). Very entertaining and well-paced period action flick. Good watch.
