Shun-hsing Chang

The story begins in a small rural village. The son lives with the father, and the daughter with mother, their parents constantly quarreling, often resulting in physical confrontations. The children are content with their lives, but their parents feel differently and suggest they go to the city in search of soul-mates. When they arrive in town wacky shenanigans and misadventures ensue as they find out that maybe they didn't have to go searching so far after all.

A reworking of the classic Chinese novel "All men are brothers"; Lin Chung (Roc Tien), a loyal general, who falls prey to a plot that exiles him and leaves his wife dead. But thanks to a good hearted brigand-monk, justice is served and the conspiracy upended... Fantastic Action, and the addition of a hideous demon creature, makes this one of the most original Kung Fu films of the 80's. AKA Secret of the Water Technique. (amazon)
