The Magnificent Butcher
ActionAdventureComedyDrama108 min
Sammo Kam-Bo Hung is Lam Sai-Wing, a butcher and student of Wong Fei Hung whose appetite, swagger, and kung fu skills land him in a fight with the rival Five Dragons school. After he’s framed for raping the headmaster’s goddaughter and killing his son, Lam finds himself hunted by a teacher bent on revenge. Under the stern guidance of Tak-Hing Kwan’s Wong Fei Hung, the story mixes broad comedy with bruising martial-arts showdowns as Lam tries to clear his name before the feud between the two schools turns deadly.
