Plot: Set in late 19th century Canton this martial arts film depicts the stance taken by the legendary martial arts hero Wong Fei-Hung (1847-1924) against foreign forces' (English, French and American) plundering of China. When Aunt Yee arrives back from America totally westernised, Wong Fei-Hung assumes the role of her protector. This proves to be difficult when his martial arts school and local militia become involved in fierce battles with foreign and local government. As violence escalates even Aunt Yee has to question her new western ideals, but is it possible to fight guns with Kung Fu? Set in late 19th century Canton, this movie follows Wong Fei-hung, who becomes the local leader of a martial arts school. The school is soon under attack. Wong also must protect Aunt Yee, a Westernized, pretty young woman who is nominally his aunt by adoption. Yet Wong, as well as his assistant Chung, find themselves attracted to her, which the ascetic, correct Wong is reluctant to acknowledge.
