Viewing Notes
When I saw that Ti Lung was in this I wasn’t expecting him to play a younger role. He’s way too old to be one of the Princes here (age 23 in the movie). He was either 35 or 36 at the time. Somehow in this movie he aged from an infant to 30+ years old when almost everyone else hasn’t aged.
Two infants are separated at birth but both undergo extensive training to become badass kung fu fighters until they finally meet up to join forces to take down the evil emperor that destroyed their family. First half is more slapsticky but the second half is full on kung fu fighting with a pretty great final boss battle. Definitely a video game storyline with a series of battles that lead up that final fight.
