Kung Fu movies always seem to refer to a bewildering array of styles. this film highlights the Tiger and Crane styles and you really can see the difference in the 2 approaches.
It gives a real insight into the idea of 1 style not being able to beat another because it's too rigid and inflexible and the practioner is not as good as his opponent, hence he WILL be beaten.
Apparently this movie is about the evolution of the Huang Gar fiststyle but I'm no expert so don't know much more than that!
Liu Chia Liang directs some great sequences, the earlier ones being better (the main fights between the father/son and the priest Pei Mei seem to automated to really flow smoothly)
Some really good acting as well let down by the usual rushed dubbing.
See it but would not buy it (go for Legendary weapons of kung fu/China for a classic movie)
