******** 3 X Kung Fu - DVD4  (Opium and the Kung fu Master - Six Assassins - The Sentimental Swordsman) ********

Opium and the Kung Fu Master   

Hong Kong  (1984)
Martial arts 

Director :  Tong Gaai (Tang Chia)   
Cast : Ti Lung, Robert Mak Tak-Law, Leanne Lau Suet-Wa 

Ti Lung, in one of his finest performances, stars Tieh Chiao-san, head of the Ten Kwangtung Tigers, who falls victim to opium, the drug which crippled China. The tragedies and drama that ensue are as stunning as the kung-fu, created by a superlative team of six martial artists. It leads to a truly unforgettable climax, as a trembling Tieh, still weak from going cold turkey, must face the gangsters who have ruined his town while he was addicted.
