I'll try and describe the plot to you but it's not easy. A teacher at a martial arts school for kids gets into a fight with a random guy and then runs off before the guy can return with his brothers (and the guy does return, wanting the teacher to teach him, although it's filmed and dubbed so badly I couldn't tell if they were being sarcastic). After rolling about in a pile of live snakes (?) and biting the head off a lizard (could have done without that bit), our guy squares up to two guys in a bar and rescues some waitress.
This is where things get a bit confused, as now we see our hero with a sidekick who saved his life (when?) and our hero also had an affair with waitress (also not seen by the viewer). He also ends up finding a tomb full of gold and becomes security chief of the local town, which leads to him being attacked by a fat prostitute and various other characters who all try to kick his head in while he fights back rather badly.
After many, many strange sights (like the marching band who have water pouring out of their instruments, subliminal flashes of boobs, fighting inter-cut with shots of animals) we get to a final battle that really resolves nothing story wise. The gold is totally forgotten about and we barely know who our hero is fighting in the first place. It's all a bit mad, but then it's Godfrey Ho that wrote the story, so what else do you expect?
It starts with a crazy-looking guy demonstrating "martial arts" to some children. He is challenged by Chin Yuet-Sang. (See him in 1979 "Kung Fu vs. Yoga" - a movie I rated as one of the best of that year.)
Watching these movies always makes me curious about the lives of the actors. James Yi Lui seems to have a face for comedy. He was born into an acting family and his father was a comedian. James started with small parts as Shaw Brothers. He hit the "big time" with 1973 "Adventure in Denmark" which I reviewed here. He then formed his own company and somehow ended up in prison for debt. Heart trouble caused his early death in 1999 so enough said. Hong Kong movies like this are an acquired taste (or maybe a loss of taste). I rate is just average and can only recommend it to a group of guys who have plenty of beer and are used to this sort of thing.
Most insane part: He bites the head off the live lizard and chews on it.
Comments: I didn't get the title. The main actor doesn't really have a noticeable style (for example Snake) and at one point confers to a book to find a style to defeat his opponent. There is a part where he wrestles with snakes, but that couldn't be it. There seemed to be a story line at first, but then I kind of just lost the plot. I thought the main actress was so hot.
Overall: I really liked the film, but it had a slightly disappointing ending.
