Wong Fei-hung chi tit gai dau neung gung (1993)

Also Known As: Deadly China Hero; Claws of Steel; Last Hero in China; Wong Fei-hung's Iron Rooster vs. The Centipede.

Synopsis: The kung-fu instructor/medicine doctor Wong Fei-hung inadvertently installs his school/clinic next door to a brothel. A bigger problem he will have to deal with concerns the misdeeds of a gang of slave traders.

Appraisal: Although displaying some nice fight numbers, the screenplay of this film is a real salad. (Oops, this is not a current expression in English, I am afraid. I mean it mixes a lot of disconnected elements.) Also, the comedy bits are unfunny, more often than not.

Rating: 44
