Review of Tie tui jiang mo

Of course there will be "spoilers" in a movie over 40 years old. If Doris Lung Chun-Erh was born in 1957 and this movie was made in 1971, pardon my math but, 14 years old? She sure doesn't look 14 years old, especially being Chinese and in 1971. The only reason I sought and watched this movie was to see everything she made. The movie starts with a pathetic fight. Two guys are bobbing around with such poor balance they can hardly fake a fight. It gets worse with the wire work that just looks like out of control puppets. The trampoline work however is good. How to make a crappy fight scene even worse? Add a sound track of a crying baby. My poor ears! Plot: Tien Peng is the Iron Palm and for revenge he is out to kill all the evil karate guys one at a time. About 30 minutes in Chen Hung-Lieh saves the movie from total fast forward button. He can actually do a choreographed fight and act unlike everyone else. He joins up with the evil karate guys. He's clearly in it for the money and the 14 year old girl. A karate guy turns traitor and tries to run off with Doris but fails. Iron Palm comes in and rescues him for some unknown reason. Wait for it! The reason was revenge. He kills him in a terrible fight. It comes down to Tien Peng versus Chen Hung-Lieh and of course they are brothers, a bit too late. Final fight time and though Chen Hung-Lieh is better than anyone else in this movie he does not have what it takes for a good 15 minute final fight. It's probably his best moment but it still falls short.
