Kid from Kwang Tung

Okay kung-fu comedy about a wacky kid getting into lots of trouble (and fights) at his martial arts school., but things get a bit more serious when a rival martial arts school comes to town who then start taking down members of the "good" school. This film features almost wall-to-wall fight scenes, which is a plus, but with few exceptions I'm really not a fan of kung-fu comedies, so I think that lessened my overall feelings toward this film. The film was directed by a veteran Shaw Brothers actor who does a fine job and features more of an old school type of fighting style that's more along the lines of Lau Kar Leung than say Cheh Chang. Overall, this one is certainly worth watching, but I would have preferred a more serious of tone, although the opening fight at a dragon festival was pretty funny and clever. Also, this film is one of many Shaw Brothers films that re-used Brian May's score from "Mad Max."
