    Wing Chun greatness and a great showcase of Yuen Biao's skills. Add Lam Ching Ying and Sammo and you have one hell of a pack.

    This movie was awesome and the fighting was superb in this movie. Makes me miss watching the old kung-fu flicks as a kid...I gotta get back into it.

    Some of the choreography is brilliant in Prodigal Son and for that it deserves kudos. But the stupidity behind so much of the characters and plot makes it impossible to really appreciate it.

    I thought this movie was stupid at first, but after seeing it in it's entirery, I think it was good!

    One of the best kung fu movies ever. Yuen Biao is great as he always is, though the real star of this movie is Lam Ching-Ying.

    This is often hailed as one of the best kung-fu movies EVER. I don't agree, unfortunately, but I do love Yuen Biao so it's a film worth watching.
