Challenge of the Masters (1976) features Gordon Liu as Wong Fei-Hung only in name (and musical cues). What he actually plays is a young man who learns Kung Fu from a master in order to avenge his uncle's death. Director Lau Kar Leung plays the villain and in this film refrains from injecting his trademark comedy. One thing Lau Kar Leung always has in his films, however, is a real love of martial arts. His movies are ABOUT martial art traditions and ethics. Liu's character not only learns some awesome staff moves, but also about respect for his fellow man and the evolution of his own spirit, making a fairly bloodless revenge story. There's also a plot about rival schools vying for dominance at a pao competition (sticks are shot into the air and participants must fight to retrieve them), a traditional game I knew nothing about, but that Lau Kar Leung is happy to teach me about.
