THE PRODIGAL SON: Cherished by fans the world over, this Sammo Hung masterpiece is a truly wondrous example of how traditional martial arts films should be done. A compelling story, perfect pacing, endearing characters, and dynamite fight choreography make this a rock-hard contender for the greatest kung fu movie of all time. Yuen Biao is as affable as ever, Frankie Chan does remarkably well playing against type, and Lam Ching Ying is simply astounding in his star-making role. Rating: 5 / 5 .
