Plot Summary:As the names of Chang Cheh and Liu Chia-liang became legendary, all-too-often the name of their equally valued collaborator, Tang Chia, is omitted. That may be,because, unlike the previous pair, the veteran kung-fu choreographer only went on to direct three movies of his own. Of course, that makes this trio all the more special, and this first effort perhaps the most special of all. It may be an eye-filling, mind-bending martial arts tale of two royal princes battling for the rightful recovery of the throne, but it's also a party, where Tang invites two cinematographers, three editors, and no less than five other choreographer friends to almost literally shoot the works. The results are kung-fu configurations not only never seen before, but never even imagined!
野心勃勃的九王爷（白彪 饰）企图谋权篡位，落败的皇帝（艾飞 饰）命令两名侍卫将两个皇子分别抱走，以延续皇家血脉。大太子（狄龙 饰）被送到了少林寺，三个疯疯癫癫的和尚收留了他，替他取名道行，传授其武功。二太子（尔冬升 饰）则被丞相（谷峰 饰）收为义子，改名为王子泰。
转眼多年过去，某日，王子泰来到了少林寺，偶然遇见了道行，尽管他们彼此都不知道对方的身份和身世，但两兄弟还是一见如故，很快就结下了坚实的友谊。九王爷买通了寺庙内的僧人，想要将道行和王子泰斩草除根，无奈之中，两人逃出了少林，踏上了充满危险的未知之旅。©豆瓣
