Synopsis:
Impetuous young child Jackie wants to learn kung fu but cannot afford to pay for lessons. He finds a willing teacher in the form of a scraggly beggar (Simon Yuen Siu-tien in his signature role), known as 'The Man Who Isn't There', who is a martial arts master. After several years of instruction, Jackie is incredibly advanced, but his father (Tien Feng) abhors violence and forbids him to use his talents. The young man's temper is constantly tested, however, by some local hoods - he defeats them in style, but his father's punishments grow more and more severe. Jackie is on a mission, however, and defies his father in order to destroy the local ganglord, foiling his henchmen and obliterating their dockside extortion racket. He is trying to do what is right, but our hero will find that his noble actions will cost him dearly. |
