The Thundering Mantis

Ah Chi is a young man obsessed with the martial arts. Most of the time he turns his skill into clowning. It gets him into trouble again and again. There is a gang in the town called the Jade Brotherhood. The man at its head is Hsia. Sooner or later Chi ends up facing him. Hsia then puts pressure on Chi’s master. The master is forced to expel the boy. Chi is left without a teacher and goes to work for a fish seller. There he meets a crafty kid. The boy’s uncle is Chow Tung. The man is a master of the Insane Mantis style. Chi begins to train under him. Meanwhile the gang wants the whole town. Chi will not stand for bullies in his neighbourhood. Bryan Leung Kar-Yan and Eddy Ko Hung appear in the ninety three minute film, a Hong Kong production Teddy Yip Wing-Cho finished in 1980.
