Viewing Notes

Not the kind of Shaw Kung fu flick that I enjoy; too much slapstick humor over straight ahead fighting. Yuen Wah has a few good scenes but not enough to watch this again. Too goofy overall. The final team-up to solve both fists and feet doesn’t even matter with both heroes using punches and kicks to defeat the enemies.

Definitely a notch or two below the better Shaw flicks.
