Ugly bum looking guy fights two golden chicken style fighters. He is winning until two guys buried in a hole pop up and kill him. He is only "mostly dead" though. After the credits, cut to Wong Goon-Hung enters town and accosts the fortune teller. "Danger". A girl picks his pocket. Unable to pay, he fights at the tea house and chases the girl. He stops to assist a woman beaten by debt collectors. Ultimately, after a series of perfectly contrived events, Wong Goon-Hung is working for the crooks who robbed him.

More problematic than the story is that other than the opening fight all the other fights have been beatings not fights. This continues for most of the movie and comprises the majority of the humor. Some people laugh at that sort of thing but it does not amuse me.

At about the 56 minute mark Lung Fei and partner return to challenge Wong Goon-Hung and we have a proper fight, by my standards. The fight takes place on "Featureless Hill" an outdoor location where hundreds of these movies filmed their final fights until the set piece final fight was created. The so-called chicken style used adds nothing to the plot and seems tossed in because inventing an unheard of style seemed to be the thing to copy in 1979.

Overall, this is low budget below average entertainment suitable only for the hard-core fan who needs something to look at while sipping on a few beers.

If you want to laugh, this movie will not disappoint you. If you want to see marvelous stunts of Kung Fu, don't watch it. I've never seen such poor editing and choreography in a fight scene. None of the fighting flows together or appears even remotely believable. It looks like they shot a few techniques, stopped filming, then tried starting again at the same point in the fight. But hey, that makes for a fun movie. The story is silly and you'll be amazed at the deadly Golden Chicken fighting style. The only marvelous stunt I saw, though, was the tape getting stuck in my VCR. I still haven't gotten it out.
