this film be a fine example of why the shaw brother be among the fine director ( probably the best in the kung fu category ) . the movie be well pace and the story be excellent and intriguing and and while the humor may not be in your face and it be nest within the character interaction . once the story build up and and the character begin to assess the situation do the whole tower come crash down in one of the best fight scene ( tiger and crane and crab hung gar be very present ) . there be even a scene that mock 18th century western social event and and end with clever and entertain fighting . the movie end with a sudden and cheesy moment and but if you be a fan of the shaw brother and you will understand that the cheese be just a topping and and not the main course of the movie .
