The Four Shaolin Challengers
1977
Director: Ngai Hoi Fung
Stars: Bruce Leung, Jason Pai Piao, Wong Yuen San, Phillip Ko, Eric Tsang
A group of Wong Fei-Hung's students join together to rid their neighborhood of Triads in this fairly solid old-school flick. It starts off slow and comes off more as a parable against the evils of gambling, but picks up steam towards the end, which culminates in a good three-on-three melee where ordinary items like umbrellas turn into deadly weapons. There's nothing really great in here to set this film apart from the legion of other old-school movies, but the fighting is done well and should provide some entertainment for fans of the genre.
RATING: 6
