Directed by Liu Chia-Liang
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Wong Hsia Yuan is an old-fashioned martial arts master who’s so behind the times that he’d rather his school be destroyed than change its ways. He may get his wish, thanks to the young, beautiful, intelligent Chan Mei Ling, who arrives from the states to open a new branch of the school. Armed with an unfamiliar, modern way of thinking, Mei Ling goes about recruiting new students in strange, and sometimes questionably legal ways. Yuan is furious, but when the local triads enter the picture, the two put their differences aside to take back the neighborhood.

Viewing Notes
I’m an idiot for sitting on this for so long. Totally didn’t put it together that this is the movie that features the amazing BMX fight sequence that Laird shared. Not to mention that this is Lau Kar-Leung flick in which he and Kara Hui co-star with a crazy supporting cast including Gordon Liu, Jimmy Wang and Sun Chien (as a bad guy!). Host of others like the perennial Ku Feng as well.
Basically this is comedy that evolves into a serious full on kung fighting flick with an incredible final battle between Lau Kar-Leung and Jimmy Wang. Love Kara Hui in this as the outsider that returns to run the martial arts school then trains a bunch of women that work in a hostess bar run by gangsters. This is one to own.
