"The erhu is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, more specifically a spike fiddle, which may also be called a "southern fiddle", and sometimes known in the Western world as the "Chinese violin" or a "Chinese two-stringed fiddle". It is used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras. It is the most popular of the huqin family of traditional bowed string instruments used by various ethnic groups of China. A very versatile instrument, the erhu is used in both traditional and contemporary music arrangements, such as in pop, rock, jazz, etc."

The lovely Michelle Mei Suet, star of The 36 Crazy Fist and Ten Tigers Of Shaolin, plays a spoiled girl who ignores her true love to go off in search of a swordsman she idolizes. That sets the stage for one great action scene after another, until she's about to be sold into slavery. A charming, funny, costumed-adventure that's based on a book by Ku Lung, (THE MAGIC BLADE, CLANS OF INTRIGUE, LEGEND OF THE BAT, et al).

A pair of evil gung-fu artists, Heaven and Earth, are slaughtering the entire Yin-Yang brotherhood. he movie opens with two members of the brotherhood and their two male children being chased by Heaven, Earth, and misc. bad guys. The two members get away separately with their children. Twenty years later we see Jackie Chan as he hunts frogs and snakes and keeps them in his pants. You learn he was one of the boys; the other is a lazy man who uses windmill-driven levers to deliver things to and from bedside, even a chamberpot and breakfast. Eventually, their respective paternal figures are killed, and they are forced to fight Heaven and Earth.
