Audience Member This old school chop socky martial arts flick is mostly filler until the end. Hung plays Dirty Head Chan, a guy who's not known for hygiene. When he trains at a temple and becomes a kung fu master, a wannabe king (wonderfully played by Carter Wong) wants him eliminated. Throw in a few subplots here and there for a decent martial arts outing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Sammo Hung plays a Kung Fu master with some sort of mange on his scalp. This skin problem makes him smell bad, but that doesn't deter some people from teaming up with him to take down a corrupt official. 35 years later, the now blurry and grainy film has been magnificently butchered. This classic chopsocky comedy has had it's aspect ratio cut and pillarboxed, making much of the shots awkward, with important parts off-screen. There's some good action, a nice slow-mo double kick, and the cow sequence is pretty sweet, but the terrible ratio is so annoying. Die-hard fans of Hung and 70's martial arts movies that feature few hit noises may find it worthwhile, I didn't. Watch "Warriors Two" instead.
