Lovingly restored from the original negative so that it can be appreciated in all its glory, this 1982 Shaw Bros. romp has everything you could want from an Ott martial arts actioner. It centres on Lo Lik (Lung Ti), a tough guy with a strong sense of honour who has a past smuggling medicines to revels in Khmer Rouge-controlled Cambodia and whom we first see beating up two men who have drugged and are about to assault a young woman. This isn’t just a public service – it’s revenge for the rape and murder of his 15-year-old niece – but one of the dead men was a well-connected gangster, and now half the city is out for Lo Lik’s blood. What he needs is a well connected patron who can make it all go away.

Chow Yun Fat was born May 18, 1955. He is best known in Asia for his collaboration with filmmaker John Woo in heroic bloodshed genre films A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Hard Boiled.
