Alternate English Title: Great Hero of China

A low-budget Taiwanese attempt to cash in on Tsui Hark's ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA series, this minor period effort has some quality martial arts but no originality or excitement. Portrayed this time out by Chin Kar-lok, Wong Fei-hung (identified in the subtitles as both "Wang Fei-hung" and "Hwang Fei-hung") is an undisciplined young layabout, always driving his aged father, Wong Kei-ying, to distraction. A few days after the elder Wong finally passes away, his old enemy, Japanese fighter Jiubinku Kyoto (Lam Ching-ying), returns to challenge Kei-ying, as part of his methodical plan to defeat all of China's top masters. Furious that he has been denied another chance to battle Kei-ying, Jiubinku smashes the dead man's spirit tablet and murders one of Po Chi Lam clinic's senior students.

Seeking to exploit the Chinese further, British representatives (in league with the disreputable Master Ha Tieh, played by Suen Kwok-ming) open an opium den in the town, earning the instant disfavor of Fei-hung, who proceeds to demolish the place. In spite of his honorable intentions, Fei-hung is ordered by the mayor (Kwan Hoi-san) to apologize to the British, a veritable death sentence, but finds an unexpected ally in the form of Jiubinku. The Japanese master's motives are simple: he does not want anyone to kill Fei-hung until he has had a chance to defeat him in combat.

Chin and Lam display some good form and the action is choreographed with a fair amount of chutzpah but the staging is comparatively primitive (vaseline is put on the lens at times, in order to hide the wires at the top of the screen) and the story enveloping the action is pedestrian, with one major subplot left unresolved. The director and some of the leads worked together again on SHAOLIN AVENGERS (aka KUNG FU KID). That film is about two other great Chinese martial heroes, Fong Sai-yuk and Hung Hei-kwun, and was apparently produced in tandem with this one.
