More Hing Kong


MY YOUNG AUNTIE-1981-An old man doesn't want his brother to get his "assets" after he dies so he marries the young woman who's taking care of him. She goes to Canton to meet the old man's nephew who of course thinks she's an old woman (she's younger than he is) and to turn her husband's estate over to him. No sooner do they meet than she bats up 5 guys. Evil younger brother is after the will. This is full of dumb humor and silly dances but the highlight is a martial arts sword fight during a costume party. The director Chia-Liang Liu also made THE LEGENDARY WEAPONS OF CHINA.

Thanks for reading!

More Fu





LEGENDARY WEAPONS OF CHINA-1982-A martial arts "society" that practices magic decides to do way with Gung, a rival martial artist. The group do a lot of crazy stunts while preparing for the kill. This is  a weird confusing movie with strange battles, a guy controlled by a voodoo like doll, comical fights and violence. In the final fight some of the "legendary weapons" come into play and the name of the weapon is flashed on the screen. Unfortunately, the names are in Chinese. Director Chia-Liang Liu was also a stunt coordinator on many films and later made THE LEGEND OF THE DRUNKEN MASTER with Jackie Chan.
