Kung Fu Method



AVENGING BOXER (aka METHOD MAN)-1979-Young Shao Yung (Peter Chang) witnesses his father's death at the hands of Wu Pa Fong (Casanova Wong). He hides out with his uncle's traveling martial arts show, trains and plots revenge. There's a lot of comedy in this Jackie Chan inspired story but there's also long stretches of boredom (made even longer for me since I saw a DVD version in Chinese with no sub-titles) but the exciting well choreographed  finale makes this worth watching. Director Jimmy Shaw also made FISTS OF FURY 2.
