That's not Billy Chong in the lead role of this South Korean Movie from 1982. The name is Benny Tsui. Consider that a warning. He was also in "Incredible Shaolin Thunderkick", and "7 Star Grand Mantis." They are two truly craptacular movies. This movie, however, has Hwang Jang-Lee as the villain and hooray for that. He shows off his triple side kick in the first fight. 

Benny is there for the comedy. To be fair, it's not that Benny isn't funny it's just that it isn't funny at all. The big questions remain - who is this guy and how did he ever end up as a lead in a kung fu movie? It makes no sense but he starred in four films. In fact he is not even needed in this movie. All his scenes could be deleted and the Hwang Jang-Lee parts would be fine. The movie only runs 77 minutes though so maybe that explains Benny Tsui's career - filler material.

Korean cinema is known for its mastery of genre, fluidly blending thriller, drama, and dark comedy with social critique. The post-1990s renaissance brought bold storytelling and masterful craft to the world stage, addressing class, identity, and modern anxieties with cinematic flair.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
