SHAW BROTHERS MOVIE

Opium and the kung fu master (1984)

Opium and the Kung Fu Master (1984) (MM SUB) is a Shaw Brothers martial arts film directed by Tang Chia and starring Ti Lung. The movie follows Tie Qiao San, a highly skilled but opium-addicted kung fu master, who must overcome his addiction to confront a ruthless gang terrorizing his town. The film stands out for its themes of personal struggle and redemption, with Ti Lung delivering a strong performance as a flawed but heroic martial artist. The fight choreography is well-executed, blending traditional kung fu with emotional storytelling. While it may not be as action-packed as some other Shaw Brothers films, its character depth and anti-opium message make it a compelling watch.
