    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.

    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.

    The best traditional martial arts film I have ever seen, filled with an amazing cast(yuen biao, lam ching ying, sammo hung, frankie chan...) awesome fight scenes, great comical performance from Sammo Hung as always! Top notch!

    My favourite Kung-fu movie. Incredible action, great acting and a cross-dressing kung-fu master. What more could a boy/girl ask for?

    The greatest martial arts movie of them all. Sammo Hung extracts great performances from leads Yuen Biao and Lam Ching Ying as well as providing laughs in a supporting role.
    The two main wing chun duels in the film are, quite simply put, the best ever filmed.
