Fist of Fury 1991

Dir: Choh Chung-Sing
Star: Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, Kenny Bee, Cheung Man, Corey Yuen

[11] Missed the first five minutes of this; perhaps no bad thing, as it's one of the dumbest movies I've seen in a long time. Not, of course, that this stops it from being entertaining, as it sweeps majestically from sleaze to melodrama. It starts (at least, the bit I saw starts) with a snot-battle, the two heroes - yokel with megablast right hand (Chow) and streetwise town rat (Bee) respectively - gobbing frantically at each other. It works up to a savage beating of the yokel after he thinks he's killed his teacher, administered by the real murderer. Predictable stuff, albeit done with a lot of style.
