Tai ji yuan gong

While most of the stars of this movie are quite forgettable, two stand out: Carter Wong and Lo Lieh. Together, they are two nearly invincible killers filled to the brim with gongfu power.

This is without a doubt one of CW's best, if not his all-time best film. He plays a white-haired master of taijiquan (hence the actual name, tai ji qi gong) who has trained since the age of 5 in this mystic art and is truly invincible -- except for his one weak point.

A classic "revenge for wronged school/slain master" plot makes this film move solidly through its paces. Lo Lieh is terrific as a baton wielding parter to Carter Wong. Basically the young students of a gongfu school train hard to take revenge on the pair for slaying their master. But it's not as easy as it first seems.

This movie has quite a few training scenes, all of them terrific, with some quite awesome schticks developed. The dubbing detracts not at all from the film, as the voice-over man perfectly reduplicates the squeaky voice that CW speaks in (due to his powers -- explained in the film). While CW's gongfu is not as good in this movie as in others, say, like Invisible Terrorist, he still keeps it up, and besides, why learn how to fight when no one can hurt you? The rest of the cast make up for it in spades.

This movie is worth buying if you love 70's gongfu movies, even non Shaw Bros. ones.
