i have high hope for what i believe to be the only movie about the 10 tiger of canton . i have hear the 10 tiger of canton mention in pass in kung fu film about wong fei hung . fei hung be not one of the 10 tiger and he be know a the tiger after 10. however wong fei hung father wong kei ying be on of these 10 tiger . be a fan of iron monkey which feature wong kei ying a a main character i be look to find similar movie feature wong kei ying a a central character . i have also see movie feature another of the 10 tiger and beggar su and a a minor character . i be quite intrigue to learn more about the 10 tiger through this film and and to come to an understanding of the aura of mystique and legend that surround them . a a tool for gain insight into the back story and life and and importance of these 10 tiger this shaw brothers movie fail miserably . wong kei ying be a very minor character in this film . rarely see on screen and he and fellow tiger wong chin ho be simply refer to in pass a the wong master . beggar su have a more prominent role in the film and but he do not look and dress and nor act the part of a beggar . instead be treat to acrobat su . while novel and fresh to use actor philip kowk talent a an acrobat in five deadly venom and the portrayal of beggar su a an acrobat a oppose to a filthy rag clad beggar leave a sour taste in my mouth . this film fail to provide background information on each of the 10 tiger and hence doesn not deliver on explain who each tiger be and what make each one such a standout in the world of martial art . while the costume and set and and martial art action be all phenomenal and top notch for a 1979 kung fu movie and the lack of character development really hurt this film a it could have be so much more and miss out on make the one and only classic masterpiece about the 10 tiger of canton . i can only hope that someday soon a contemporary hong kong director will come out with a film that do justice to the 10 tiger of canton and because this shaw brother movie fail miserably at do such .
