Plot
Master Wong and his disciples enroll in the 'Dancing Lion Competition' to stop an assassination plot and to battle an arrogant, deceitful opponent.
Sinekatalog’s take
A lively martial-arts adventure in which a folk hero is drawn into a tournament and an assassination scheme. The choreography is acrobatic and playful, with period flavour and broad comedy in the mix. Great for fans of classic Hong Kong kung fu spectacle.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
