It starts with Kurata Yasuaki fighting. After the credits Chen Hui-Lou discusses the Japanese situation with the master. Next he discusses other things with Tien Yeh as they enjoy the company of two ladies. Next it's off to the lumberyard for a brawl. Chen Hui-Lou has been dirty dealing.
Chen Hui-Lou is an excellent character actor and stunt man who had about 111 movie credits most of them during the golden age of martial arts movies from 1967 to 1984. I have never been able to find any information about his life. He would be about 90 years old now and I assume he is still living. I give him credit for being able to really act as well as do full stunts and martial arts. He is rather short and not leading man material but his skills and talent improved every movie I saw him in.
My copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV as a square size video similar to the old VHS format with English dubbing. This causes some of the fights to appear too close up but is not the fault of the movie makers.
This movie would only draw the attention of a hard core fan of this genre. There are dozens of movies just like it out there. It has the usual evil Japanese, one dimensional bad guys and good guys, revenge for the dead master, and fight after fight. It gets my recommendation simply because of Kurata Yasuaki. Fans will recognize him as one of the golden oldies of these movies, one of the original real martial artists to bring authentic fighting to the movies. He uses the Okinawan melee weapon, the tonfa, in the final fight. I rate the movie average for the year and genre.
