Yu Kai

The Monkey Soldiers Come to the Rescue is a Hong Kong Drama starring Sammo Hung in a child role

A child learns martial arts in order to become a Kung Fu warrior. Features the Seven Little Fortunes, and is the debut film of Jackie Chan.

In the senses-shattering conclusion, our heroes search high and low for the White-Bone Swords, righting wrongs wherever they find them, at last discovering the swords are under the protection of a fierce dragon.

The White Bone Swords are stolen, and our heroes must find a way to get them back, but Brother Huang is poisoned by the Demon Cult's Hell Frost Staff, and the others must make a dangerous journey to get the antidote before it is too late.

Centring on the legend of the four ancient Chinese heroines, the film was a novelty for audiences at the time, as the singing performance was in Cantonese and used huangmei operatic rhythms—a popular trend in the 1960s, yet it retained traditional flavours by using operatic luogu percussion in the battle scenes. ‘Movie-fan princess' Connie Chan Po-chu not only sings Cantonese song and huangmei tone solos in the film, she also wows the audience by taking up the doumadanrole for the first time as the Tang dynasty female general Fan Lei-fa, showing off her superb operatic martial skills, together with Shum Chi-wah, inherited from Peking opera master Fen Ju Hua. Yu Kai's weaponry prowess and renowned female comedian Tam Lan-hing cross-dressing as a male general are also brilliant in this gem.

Comedy from Hong Kong directed by Fung Chi-Kong.
