Chut Do-bo, a bandit hoping to get rich, searches for the lost treasure of Chan Po Chu.
He isn't alone in looking for the treasure, Jue Gow-Jik, a rich socialite is also looking for the treasure, not for the money but to impress his family. Shaolin Monk Mo Seung travels to the city trying to discourage any would be treasure hunters and tells anyone he can that the treasure is only a fable, and those that have tried looking for it, have wound up dead. Chut and Jue team up and try to get more clues in order uncover the mysteries of the Chan Po Chu treasure.
Lord Mok, the renown Kung Fu expert in the city, wants the treasure all for himself and will stop at nothing to get rid of anyone is his way. As the Police try to track down Chut and Jue for tearing up the city as they scour for clues, they get blamed for the many missing and assumed dead previous treasure hunters.
Spoiler - The killer is no one else but Lord Mok himself and it will take Chut, Jue and Monk Mo to defeat him.
I am guessing with the campy music and the goofy antics this must be a Martial Art Comedy
As I watch these movies I try to learn something about the characters, the actors, the language or the culture.
In this film,here is what I learned.
- The man dressed in blue in the opening scene wears a yellow arm band. This arm band signifies he is a Police Officer. I don't know Chinese nor do I know anyone that does. I would love to know what is written on it.
- Fu Sheng and Chan-Peng Chang are brothers in real life. There is a bit of tragedy discovering this, On Wednesday night, July 7th, 1983, Alexander Fu Sheng was traveling on the passenger side of his Porsche 911 driven by his third brother, Chang Zheng Sheng. Behind them in a Honda Civic was Fu Sheng's younger brother, Chang Chan Peng who was accompanied by close friend and fellow actor, Wong Yu.
