So the DVD I own of this one comes in a case promising the movie CLASH OF THE NINJAS(which is a completely different film, credited to either Godfrey Ho or Thomas Tang depending on who you believe), the title card itself says it's CAT VS. RAT (which is another totally different old Shaw Brothers comedy-fu film), but after doing a little research I've come to realize it's actually FATAL NEEDLES VS. FATAL FISTS. They sure made that about as hidden as they could!
The plot here concerns a couple of expert kung-fu cops made up of Lo Lieh and Don Wong. Lieh gets taken out pretty early on and it's all about Mr. Wong getting revenge. The white-haired bad guy this time is a needle-throwing fellow who can paralyze you and kill you with his magical pins. So he's basically an evil acupuncturist. Pretty basic revenge theme but this seems to get a higher rating from hardcore martial arts fans for some reason.
