Viewing Notes

Another Shaw Production… expiring soon on Netflix. Was neat to find a Shaw title that I hadn’t seen already altho I thought I had. This a late period Shaw flick that stars Ti Lung who is a kung fu master and a heavy opium user. The rival kung fu school uses this to get all his students hooked on opium making them less than optimal workers and fighters. Finally Ti Lung has a showdown with Chen Kuan-Tai and is embarrassed in defeat. So he has to overcome his addiction for a rematch. Basically this is a period “don’t do drugs” flick. It’s good and also a bit dark at times.
