While this kung fu flick follows the standard guy-gets-killed-then someone-gets-revenge-for-him plot-line(in this case his son) it has quite the few little quirky touches to put it over the top and make for a head-scratchingly fun watch. It starts off with a fellow with a skinhead-girl haircut being a bully and then getting his ass-kicked by another guy named Fat Ho(which leads to great chuckle-worthy lines like "that guy sure learned a lot from that Fat Ho!"). From there we get all kinds of wackiness including this wizard guy who's referred to as an exorcist who enjoys eating live wriggling maggots in his spare time and fighting like a robot, a beggar who goes around embarrassing various people, totally cartoonish dubbing, THREE STOOGES-style fighting and some weird cross-dressing. Much of the movie doesn't make any kind of clear sense but that's the way it often goes with these far-east low-budget chopsocky epics which makes this one for hardcore kung-fu lovers who don't mind a lot of goofiness.
