| Jackie Chan in his prime |
.Wong Fei-Hung (Jackie Chan) is a spoiled martial artist who lives under the shadow of his rich father Wong Kei-ying (Kau Lam) but one day while he's in the market he picks on a girl who turns and her mother fights him. He loses, but it turns out she was his aunt. Now his father disowns him and he has to go into training to win back his father's favor.

| Wong Fei-hung vs. Thunderleg (Jang Lee Hwang) |
This movie is the best comedy around. It is just pure cocaine of laughter. It has a ridiculously well done amount of amazing fights all round the movie. Just the humor of this movie is timeless (I watched it last night). The finish pays off purely. Su Hua chin plays a hilarious character as well with great bits with Chan. It also immediately builds up characters such as Thunderleg killing a martial arts champion for $400 at the beginning of the movie. It doesn't skip the essential emotions needed to make a martial arts movie. The scene where Wong gets beat up by Thunderleg and loses his arrogance and runs to Sam Seed to be trained was just great.
