This is the movie that started it all for me. Saturday morning kung fu theater with me and my dad watching as the magic unfolded and a story as unforgettable as time was told! While there were many great kung fu movies before this one, this was the movie that set the bar for all the others that followed. The fight scenes were phenomenal, the acting was on point, the story was amazing, and the pacing was flawless. This truly is the perfect storm of martial arts movies and will always hold a special place in my heart.
