Basically there was this guy trained in Tai chi since he was a kid (hence `Born Invincible'). The whole plot of the movie is just about some kung-fu school figuring out how to kill this guy in order to keep their school's honor. The movie manages to keep you sitting through the whole thing. I usually get bored by real bad kung-fu films and then fast-forward to the fights to wake myself up, but this was intriguing enough to pay attention to.
It all started when some students tried to help an old man getting beaten by the villain's henchmen. This then establishes the years long feud. Eventually, the henchmen are killed until there's a final showdown with the main villain of the film. And they're ready to exploit his weakness, which the movie took some time to figure out.
The kung fu here has lots of fancy flips and jumps (villains finishing move is a jump-flip head-butt). This isn't some goofball kung fu although the movie is pretty hilarious cause of the cliché bad guy and Asian people fighting for honor as if they'd die without it.
I'm looking a bit too deep here, but the best thing about this film is it questioned whether it's right if the good guys cheat in fights for justice. The dubbing is hilarious and over the top like in all horribly brilliant kung-fu films. Good film to watch every now and then to see some ideal kung fu fighting. 9/10
