For instance, Yumiko challenges Ho Taos belief inthe superiority of Chinese kung fu.

Each battle is extraordinarily choreographed and the fights are shown as respectful exchanges rather than battles to the death.
The movie even pays homage toBruce Lee’s signature nunchuk fighting style.

Instead, the film emphasizes discipline and honor, values that rising star Gordon Liu embodied with flying colors.
His performance adds depth to the films theme of cultural understanding.
Tragically underrated, this kung fu masterpiece celebrates martial arts in all forms and is pure kinetic entertainment.
