Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Lau Kar-leung directs this martial arts yarn about competing kung fu schools locked in a bitter rivalry. Meanwhile, the master of one school Huang Chi-ying (Ku Feng) is having a hard time controlling his son Wong Fei-hung (Gordon Lau Kar-fai) and his son's friend Yin-lin (Mai Te-lo) who get their kicks by posing a kung fu masters. Even after getting drubbed in a match with a real kung fu ace, the two continue to play the part, going so far as to hire opponents to take a dive. Soon Master Shan (Johnny Wang Lung-wei) of the rival Jing Wu school gets wind of Fei-hung's bragging and subsequently breaks Yin-lin's leg. Soon Fei-hung realizes that he must get serious and fight Shan in order to save his repudiation and that of his father's school.
