Kung Fu super villain, Hwang Jang-li (known among fans as "Silver Fox,") is the main attraction in this kung fu tale which was reportedly adapted from a comic book. Impudent but likeable kung fu students Tiger Wong (Meng Yuen Man) and Stone Dragon (Meng Hoi) have the potential to be great fighters but seem more interested in driving their teachers to distraction. Unfortunately, the death of their loved ones help them amend their ways and take their training seriously so they can get revenge...
Hwang Jang Lee is a total force to be reckon in this lively kung fu actioner - he fights on a different level, putting his legs and staff to brutal effect. It feels like he really intends to "incapacitate" whatever or whoever he hits. The first half has the usual Kung fu comedy shenanigans from the two students, but as predicted it gets serious in the second half, morphing into a revenge tale. The fight scenes can be quite intense, especially at the end where one of students called Dragon goes ga-ga and the villain dies in an absurdly brutal fashion. Can be a bit violent, though. It's overall an entertaining film with the intensity, humour and detailed character choreography boosting this one above average.
