Heroes among Heroes

(aka. Begger Su)

1993

Directed by: Yuen Wo Ping
Starring: Donnie Yen Ji-Dan, Wong Chuen, Fennie Yuen Kit-Ying , Ng Man Tat

Another magnificent kung fu action movie from the best team -- Yuen Woo- Ping (fight choreographer of Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Donnie Yen. With so many successful titles under their belt, such as the series of Tiger Cage and In the Line of Duty IV. Set at the troublesome China, when opium smugglers working with foreigners to repress their own people, Begger Su (Donnie Yen) teams up with Wong Fei Hong (Wong Chuen) and the Official Lam Che Chu to swipe the evil power and burn the opium. Don't miss these countless creative fights sequences -- using ponytail as a whip, ginseng root, smoking pipe, drunken-steps etc.
