| | The mysterious outlaw Iron Monkey protects the poor against the excesses of the corrupt regime, pursuing a Robin Hood style policy of wealth redistribution. | | | The sheriff, er, governor orders his men to bring in anyone who could be the Monkey, leading to the arrest of Wong Kei Ying and his ten-year old son, Wong Fei Hung. | | | The atheleticism and skill of the performers, even when enhanced with wire work and other effects such that they seem to defy gravity and deliver superhumanly fast and powerful blows, impresses. |
