    Storyline

    Edit
    Two warlord chiefs, a ton-fa wielder who can destroy an opponents weapon and a Tai Chi expert that is impervious to weapons, send a pair of killers to track down and kill an old master swordsman who has given up fighting. When the killers assassination attempt is foiled by a group of kung fu students from a nearby school, the chiefs themselves come to the school to deal with the master swordsman and anyone else who gets in their way. When the schools head master dies defending the swordsman and his daughter, the schools 3 most senior students vow to avenge the deaths and begins a quest to annihilate the warlord chiefs. One by one, they end up facing a man so skilled in tai chi kung fu that it seems as if he were 'Born Invincible'. —M. Astaphan

    Kung Fu Supervillian Movie
    In the late 70s and early 80s as a kung fu fan you were sure of one

    thing, lots of kung fu movies - most of them were bad, but some held the

    same mythology that if you trained hard enough and knew every secret

    there was you'd become invincible. This idea sporned the White Haired

    supervillians that would become to showcase kung fu movies. Impossible

    to beat, super-tough villians that would sometimes steal the show. The

    more white hair, the more powerful they were.

    In this movie the real star is the bad guy as we see him kill all those

    who stand in his way. Excellent kung fu duels are plenty in this film,

    though the ending is a bit silly.

    I'd love a redux of this movie for the 21st century - but it'll never

    happen - instead enjoy kung fu mastery of the white haired kind in this

    movie.
