- TriviaAfter the film's success, producer Ng See Yuen had a huge dispute with the Taiwanese producers regarding with hiring Conan Lee to their pictures which led to misleading where producers thought Ng refused to let them hire Lee. This ended up led the Taiwanese producers to hire a Taiwanese triad members to severely injure and black mailing Ng. Ng See Yuen decided to let Conan Lee off from the contract.
- GoofsDuring the intro scenes, eight ninja run the parcour. When they scale the wall with their hand-claws, there are suddenly just six, and when they run down the steps in the forest, they suddenly number eight again.

Featured review
Loads of fun
This is the sort of Kung Fu movie I love, one with lots of action, plenty of daft, broad, but enjoyable humour, a cracking pace, and a storyline that although it isn't groundbreaking, does hold your interest and give the film a bit of structure. Its also great to see a mix of fighting styles and plenty of weapon use mixed in with the kung fu. This is low budget (although high at the time for a Hong Kong film) with dodgy music and sound effects, and some dodgy lines (although that might have been through translation), but it doesn't take itself too seriously until near the end, so you can't help but love it.
It really hasn't been given enough respect this film, hardly anyone seems to have seen it on any of the Kung Fu fan sites. It is readily available on the Hong Kong Legends series in remastered widescreen format with plenty of extras though, so I recommend anyone who loves old style Martial Arts films (especially ones like Drunken Master) to buy this now!
