DVD blurb:
Tan Tao Liang (Dorian Tan) shows off his whole repetoire of fancy legwork and Kung Fu moves when he confronts the bootmaster with a flurry of high-flying kicks. Much action ensues when Police Chief Liang kills off eight bandits who have stolen a treasure map.
An interesting note is that Tan is actually Korean-born and an expert & Korean national champion in tae kwan do. He earned the nickname "Flash Legs" for his fancy kicking techniques.
As the film opens, a gang of 8 bandits steals a treasure map. They divide it into 8 equal pieces and separate, vowing to reunite in 3 years and dig up the treasure. Before that can happen, though, a man with apparently no name (Tan) shows up and collects the pieces by killing them off one by one, however reluctantly. As the bandits' numbers dwindle, those who have hung around each other start turning on one another. It the meantime, our "Man With No Name" meets a girl, who happens to be the daughter of one of the bandits. This of course leads to yet another inevitable final battle over the last pieces of the map and the treasure itself.
I found myself rather enjoying this movie a bit more than the last one. Having an understandable plot (and no monkeys) really helps. The fights were well done and the story kept moving at a good pace.
Pain rating : 1 Finger of Death
(Pain ratings are just that -- how painful these movies are to watch. 1 is the least painful, 5 if the worst)
