Li Hai-Sheng & Charles Heung
.. and Philip Kao, can't forget him!
This is a really cool old-schooler about
a village local-yocal (Charles Heung)who raises geese and who
runs a food stand. He also happens to be something
of an adept at immitating styles of kung-fu, and winds
up being an unseen witness to a double murder commited by
arch-villain Li Hai Sheng (they don't make 'em like this guy anymore!), who plays the wonderfully evil
master White-Crested Crane. Heung winds up being drafted into teaching a martial arts school,
and of course eventually runs into White Crested Crane, who teaches reluctant Heung (he knows he's a murdere after all!).
Philip Kao plays another white haired master,
who at first you think is the flick's baddie,but we soon learn he's basically a good guy.
This is a movie containing some silly elements (not
unheard of in HK cinema), but which has enough fights and 'good story' to raise
it above being merely average. I'd give it 7 out of 10 for good
fun. Its available on dvd as a double feature - you can't go wrong renting or buying!
