It's Meng Yuan-wen (star of The Master Strikes) versus Kuan Feng in this wild and wacky wushu saga of a priceless pole with a spectacular secret. A master martial artist's silly disciple struggles to save it from an evil white slaver, the slaver's duplicitous wife, and even his own bone-headed, but greedy, companion. Hsu Hsia choreographs the abundant action, as he had for both Five Superfighters and Drunken Master. The result is both sublime (for its kung-fu) and engagingly ridiculous.
Director: Patrick Yuen Ho-Chuen
Cast: Meng Yuen-Man, Kwan Fung, Chun Wong, Wang Sha, Helen Poon Bing-Seung, Chiang Cheng, Ng Hong-Sang, Jamie Luk Kim-Ming
