Overview: From the legendary Shaw Brothers Studio, here’s something a bit funnier than their usual fare: after an evil martial arts master (played by the very great Hwang Jang-li (Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow) kills their own teacher, Wong Yu (The Shadow Boxing) and Chiang Kam (The Young Master) realize that they’re next!

But can the squabbling duo put their differences aside long enough to defeat him? With spirited slapstick, supernatural silliness and some jaw-dropping fights that really have to be seen to be believed, Kid From Kwangtung is gravity-defying treat from the glory days of Hong Kong cinema.

88 Films are proud to unleash this classic kung fu comedy on Blu-ray!

Blu-ray Verdict: If you find yourself on the fence about watching this brilliant film, well, let me inform you right off the bat that it features some sensational, and well-choreographed fights, especially the final fights, and it has a comedy level above the norm!

Hwang Jang Lee is undoubtedly the best villain in martial arts films for whenever he is involved, the fights are top-notch. And here, well, there is no shortage of scenes of him kicking his enemies mercilessly! Pan Pan Yeung is also worth mentioning, although unfortunately she doesn’t have many fight scenes, but in the few she does have she definitely doesn’t disappoint and shows off some very good kicks!

The actress who plays her mother is also great, and there’s even a chubby rival of the protagonist who provides some very funny scenes, which makes Kid From Kwangtung definitely worth watching, trust me.

In closing, this film is a true, unadulterated testament to the director’s style of filmmaking ability, and featuring some rather clever doubling by a somersaulting Yuen Tak, he even manages to make Wong Yu look extremely better than we, perhaps, know them to be!
