First off, this movie has nothing to do whatsoever with anything that could be mistaken for a "golden monkey". It is a reference to the kung fu style employed by the main character (which has to be seen to be believed). The story makes no sense whatsoever (the characters keep trying to find "the manual", and there's some sort of rivalry between the good master and a circle of evil kung fu goons), but there are some (unintentionally) hilarious scenes. My favorite line: "You're getting bald! Bald...because you're dead! I hope you brought your coffin!". Eagle Han is no Jet Li, but if keep your expectations low, you'll enjoy it.

Xing mu zi gu huo zhao
(1979)
Do not watch me!
6 January 2001
A terrible kung fu movie, in which Sammo plays the wise "Fat" master, teaching a student the secrets of his powerful kung fu, and occasionally employing a food related metaphor. Certainly not the worst kung fu movie ever, but it should be avoided if at all possible. No decent fight scenes, horrendous acting- the only truly amusing moment was a song sung by Sammo himself.
