Starring: Chang Ching Ching, Peng Tien, Yuen Yi. Directed by: Ting Mei Sung, Shing Yuan Sun
This is a very interesting kung fu flick! It was obviously made on a shoestring budget (not a bad thing at all as far as kung fu movies go) and as such it suffers from all the flaws of a typical kung fu movie. That is, an abrupt ending, stereotypical Japanese/Chinese collaborators, etc. However, it makes up for this with an interesting storyline, some fairly accurate details of the Japanese soldiers (right down to the uniforms, field equipment, and weapons), and plenty of fight scenes!
In this movie, an anti-Japanese Chinese guerrilla living in occupied China during WWII is being pursued by Japanese troops and has become something of a legend in the Chinese countryside. He is contacted by Miss Liao (Chang Ching Ching), and some other agents of the Kuomintang government who need his help in fighting the Japanese troops. To make a long story short, he agrees to help and gives a serious whuppin' to the Japanese.
Later on in the movie comes the big event: the tournament, aka The Big Fight (hence the name of the movie). We get to see plenty of fights between Chinese kung fu fighters and Japanese karate, judo, and sumo fighters!
This movie is not bad at all and is worth a watch or two if you are in the mood for some serious fu!
Also known as: Lei Tai (original title)
