Yuen Woo-ping directs this classic of the period kung fu epic. Butcher Wing (Sammo Hung) is the most talented and the most troublesome pupil of Master Wong (Kwan Tak-hing).

Meanwhile, Butcher's long lost brother Lam Sai-kwong comes to town with his beautiful bride Yuet Mei. Master Ko's son Tai-hoi (Fung Hark-on) hoodwinks the country bumpkin into thinking that Butcher owes him a stack of money, taking Yuet Mei as payment. Just as Sai-kwong is about to take a flying leap off a bridge, he is saved by a wily beggar (Fan Mui-sang) with surprisingly good kung fu ability. Eventually, Sai-kwong, Butcher and the beggar unite to free Yuet Mei from Master Ko's clutches, only to create a whole new set of problems. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

The story was basically Sammo Hung's character was wrongly accused of raping and killing a rival master's daughter, so the master and his students try to beat up Hung's character.

    One of Sammo's best starring roles. One of my all time favorite kung fu movies. Constant fights in this movie.

    It looks here like they were going for a chop socky look, but apparently their budget was higher and it came out almost hi quality, accompanied by bad acting. Sam the Seed is in it though.
