A teacher comes across a secret list of anti-Ching rebel names and quickly becomes a target for Ching loyalists. The Five Venom’s actor Lo Meng teams up with kung-fu comedic actor Wang Yu to bring some of the best lion dancing action footage ever seen on film. The amazing lion dance sequences alone gives this film major historic significance where it’s the first time Northern and Southern lion dancing skills are compared.

Viewing Notes
So glad El Rey programmed this again on an off day. Been wanting to see this one for a while because Lo Meng in the lead role here!
The excellent centerpiece is a crazy lion dance battle over and up a tower. Possibly the best captured on film. Could almost call this a comedy if not for the killing over the missing the rebel list. So-so story but some great action beats with Lo Meng.
