The pace and tone of the film is immediately made clear with an opening fight in the woods as Wah Jee and his uncle attempt to flee from ruthless fighters led by Mien Tsu Mun. The pair make it to a Buddhist temple, but the uncle dies after Tsu Mun and his thugs break in. A fighter turned monk named Huang manages to kill most of them. Once recovered from his wounds, Wah Jee is put to work at the temple, making soy milk runs into town and cleaning out the smoke-filled oven. He spends time with two junior monks and trades friendly kung fu blows with Tsui Jee, the attractive soy milk seller. Tsu Mun returns to the area with two martial brothers (including Bolo Leung). Fed up with the torturous regimen of chores at the temple, Wah Jee survives only after he is forcibly pulled away by Tsui Jee's father. At this point, Wah Jee learns that his own father died at the hands of a silver-haired fighter who belongs to the same group as Tsu Mun. Three martial brothers initially escaped Jang Lee's attack, but now only Tsui Jee's father remains. Wah Jee, Tsui Jee and her father go into hiding where Wah Jee begins to master the 36 Deadly Styles just in time to face Jang Lee. There is also a smaller parallel plot interwoven with the previous one involving a brother of Jang Lee who heads off to a Tibetan temple to seek out a kung fu master named Kaung Wu Chun in order to get the manual of 36 Deadly Styles.

I really liked the characters and the story for the most part. The FL and both ML really good. It's an average film with your standard revenge plot. I loved actor Wang Yung Sheng. He's the villian here but I like him in everything he plays in. His skills and charisma, always awesome.

I didn't think the fight scenes were all that spectacular but there were two that were well choreographed. The fight scene between Jeanie Chang (FL) and Chan Lau (4th Brother) was excellent and the work with the pot was fantastic. The other was a fight scene between 2 older gentlemen; one of whom is the villain. Even though i don’t remember these 2 characters they were apparently part of the subplot. Fight was great with the 2 veteran martial arts actors. That was better than all the fights between any main characters. I really didnt even reacall the subplot while watching and was flabbergasted when the 2 showed up to fight over the 36 Deadly Styles book.

Bolo Yuen is here and for some inexplicable reason he is wearing a redheaded, braided wig. I literally, need someone to explain to me as to why the hell that wig was used. It looked like a black woman's wig from the 1970's disco era.
