The Wong Fei Hung story has also been popularised by Tsui Hark, with Jet Li in the starring role, in the Once Upon A Time in China series.
Here kung fu master Kwan Tak Hing, who made a whole series of Wong Fei Hung films from 1949 to 1970, returns out of retirement to his iconic role as Master Wong Fei Hung in this kung fu classic from director Cheng Chang Ho (King Boxer).
Master Wong takes a new student (Carter Wong) under his wing after the young man is soundly beaten by a mercenary master (Hwang In-shik) skilled in hapkido. Meanwhile, Master Wong’s friend is being threatened by a local crime boss, who wants to use his factory for opium-related shenanigans, has hired the renegade hapkido master as his enforcer.
