Shaw Brothers old film fully restored from the
original film.
After Lui Chia-Liang's (AKA Lau Kar Leung)
first film as director, "The Spiritual Boxer",
was a huge hit, Liang decided to make the
greatest tale of Wong and his "sifu" (teacher)
ever filmed. He made a star of his adoptive
brother, Gordon Liu, in the leading role, and
filled the cast with family members, friends,
students, and the best Shaws had to offer. He
even played the villain himself. The result was
more Liang magic, with an honorable message of
righteousness that rings true through the
decades. |
