Viewing Notes
Solid. Another “I Must Avenge My Master” entry with David Chiang avenging the murder of his father, who taught him the legendary Shaolin Handlock move. Lo Lieh is the man who ordered the murder so a great attempt of subterfuge occurs in order to take him down. David Chiang is a badass here but Lieh is the superior foe with plenty of tricks. Pretty awesome final battle between Chiang, Lieh and Michael Chan Wai-Man. Thought I recognized Kara Hui, who has a brief appearance in the opening minutes. Chen Ping has a good supporting role as Chiang’s sister.
