While this is a fictionalised account of an event occurring in Wong Fei-Hung's childhood, it is essentially a wonderful piece on the character and prowess of Wong Kei-Ying, Fei-Hung's father. Kei-Ying is himself part of a larger legendary group called the Ten Tigers of Canton, essentially a kind of superhero group from the Qing dynasty that fought to defend and protect the people.
Wong Fei-Hung was actually not a part of this group (as many originally believed), but he was associated with them through his various travels; he was known as the Tiger After the Ten Tigers. This film loosely touches upon many events in his life throughout his history, and the first three are regarded as the best in the series by most critics.

I'm a writer, a published author, and editor for a small independent publishing house. I'm an award winning producer of independent media, and I get to edit books, screenplays, and comics in my day to day. I love working on independent film & games, during my down time, as well as reviewing films while gobbling down milk duds (it's an addiction, I know). I've been called "Geek-Prime" among my peers for all the fandoms I work in, and I wear that title proudly. It's a passion, and an exercise in my growing profession, to get to write about what I love. Which happens to be a little of everything. But mostly film, comics, horror, games, anime, literature, and life. I do write about academic material, like politics, medicine, physics, and mathematics too. But for the most part, I like to keep things down to earth and simple. Follow me on Twitter & Facebook
