I bought this movie expecting an 'old skool' kung fu movie typical of the genre, but was pleasently surprised that the story was strong and well presented - not typical of your run-of-the-mill kung fu flick.
'Beardy' (though shaven) gives a great performance as the legendary student of a travelling teacher who is secretly taught kung-fu and becomes the best fighter in China.
The action is great, especially the boat scene where 'western style boxing' is shown to be no match for a beating up-side-the-head with a pipe stuck in your suspenders.
Plenty of balsa wood furniture and a comic relief with rabbit-teeth and freckles - action, reasonable script-writing and comedy make this movie a must-see.
