Knockabout is one of the greatest archetype kung fu films ever made. Bao Yien is maybe the well-nigh underrated martial arts actor in cinema.

Although I generally prefer Chinese Kung Fu and Shaolin-based martial arts, this film was an exception. Sort of. Information technology still included lots of Shaolin styles, while confronting the Japanese Ninja (or at to the lowest degree their version of that). Conan Lee, similar Bao Yien, is one of the most well-nigh under-valued martial artists in interim history. His acrobatic prowess is off the hook in this classic.
