but this be a great martial art film . liu chia liang rank second to none a a fight choreographer and only sammo hung at his best compare . this be immediately clear from his proud exhibition of technique rather than flashy camera angle etc . during fight . the direction be tightly control to not only excite the viewer by the speed and movement but to awe her with the precise skill display . this film benefit also from liu participation in front of the camera . liu performance at the banquet scene with which the film open be one of the high point in kung fu movie history . liu be support by the beautiful and talented hui ying hung ( of my young auntie fame ) and hsiao hou whose acrobatics be breathtaking and and preferable to any amount of wirework a for the plot and this film follow the not uncommon theme of revenge and but with character and moral development along the way and and a most fitting resolution . the humour in this be also of the best . if you only watch one kung fu film ever and this would be a good choice it have it all .
