The Magnificent Butcher 1979


summary
When a kung master's goddaughter is murdered by his own lustful son, Wong Fei-hung's mischievous student Butcher Wing is blamed.
Wing's brother is killed in an attempt to cover up the truth. Now he must fight to clear his name and get revenge.
The film begins modestly enough with Sammo comfortably playing an uncouth lout named Lam Sai-wing or simply 'Butcher Wing,' who
happens to be a student of the legendary Hung Gar master and hero, Wong Fei-hung. Butcher Wing doesn't waste time putting his kung fu
to use beating up a man he mistakenly takes for a thief. This misunderstanding leads kung fu master Kao (Lee Hoi-sang) to challenges
Fei-hung. Just as things are settling down, Kao's wicked son Tai-hoi (Fung Hak-on) kidnaps a woman who turns out to be the wife of Wing's
long-lost brother. More misunderstandings ensue as Tai-hoi pits the two brothers against each other. The woman is eventually brought
home by Wing, but he also nabs Kao's goddaughter, Lam Hsing (JoJo Chan). This leads to tragedy when Tai-hoi turns his deviant thoughts
to her and she winds up dead while still at Wing's home.
Now, Wing is in a real pickle. Fei-hung is out of town and Kao and his oddball cronies come looking for revenge. Wing is only saved by his
two martial brothers and a drunken beggar (Fan Mei-sheng). Following some kung fu training with the beggar, Wing discovers that his brother
has been killed by Tai-hoi. Before Fei-hung returns, Wing seeks his revenge and is forced to face Kao and his powerful 'Cosmic Palm' technique.
