I have this as a 1980 movie with the title "A Wily Match" with Lung Fong, Cheng Fu-Hung, Sun Jung-Chi, Gam Dai, Chan Wai-Lau and Mo Man- Su.
Lung Fong cuts in on a martial arts class, unpaid and uninvited. He defeats them all because none can really fight. Cut to four guys fight out in the weeds for something or another. Cut again to the big man, Cheng Fu-Hung, as the dumb and tough son of the versatile actor Chan Wai-Lau. Father has a hard time keeping a practice partner for the big, tough, but dumb son. Lung Fong falls into the job through a series of comedic circumstances.
Our hero's life is further complicated by winning a bride from a martial arts contest. He rejects her because her feet were bound and he detests the custom though other men are certainly attracted to this unusual form of "beauty". Mo Man-Su had a small role in Jackie Chan's "Spiritual Kung Fu" and does some fights in this movie.
My copy is a digital file from an Ocean Shores VHS. It is English dubbed and the voice actors did a competent job. The video is not wide screen but the picture quality is as good as it gets for a VHS to digital file.
Comedy is difficult to rate in these type of movies. What is funny or not funny is really what you prefer in your tea cup. I liked it, never touched the fast forward button and consider it just a sliver above average for the year and genre.
