Plot
The secret Red Lotus Flower Society is committed to the overthrow of the evil Manchu Emperor and his minions. One of his Governors is sent on a mission to retrieve a list of members of that secret society.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Hong Kong martial-arts farce with secret societies, mistaken identities and stunt work that borders on cartoon. Plot logic is flexible, but the fight choreography is fast and playful. Good, noisy fun for fans of 1990s kung fu comedies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
