Directing his own film, Jackie made this ballistic kung fu
action masterpiece a few days short of his fortieth birthday - but
you wouldn't know it from his hyper energised super knockout
performance as Wong Fei Hung (the character also made famous by Jet
Lee in the classic Once Upon a Time in China
series).
Hung assists his father at his
medical practice and weaves a fun filled existence around his
village, covering up for his Mother's gamblign debts while she
covers for his medical blunders.
But when Hung discovers that local
gang bosses are using the foundry and its scab labour workers as a
front to smuggle antiques out of China, he vows to stop them!
