Huang Fei-hung the greatest character in martial arts movie history, has been featured in many a gloriously filmed epic. But director Ho Meng-hua decided to cast Ku Feng, one of Shaws' finest actors, in the role, then film it hyper-realistically. The result is this unique experiment, as an all-too-human Huang Fei-hung battles a gangster's plan to frame him for robbery and murder. Despite the unusual approach, there's plenty of action as the Confucian Huang fights for honor, harmony, and health. (hkcinemagic.com)
