About the film
Cliff Lok opens a school, and trouble follows
Kung Fu Genius is a 1979 Hong Kong kung fu comedy directed by Wilson Tong, from a script by Cheung Sum. It stars Cliff Lok, with Tong himself, Cheng Kang-yeh and Hsiao Ho.
It is a brisk, good-humored film built around school rivalries.
The film
A martial arts whiz and his ambitious friend open a kung fu school, but their only early attention comes from an angry student of the town's other school. A confrontation ends in a brawl at a brothel, and both schools end up as targets of the brothel owner, who has a deadly fighter on his payroll. The comedy keeps things moving, but the fights are the real draw, with Hsiao Ho's acrobatics a highlight.
