Thundering Mantis

Ah Chi (Leung Kar Yan) is obsessed with the martial arts; and, more often than not, his kung fu antics get him into trouble. His fight with a local tough guy, who turns out to be a henchman of Boss Hsia (Eddie Kao), forces his master to expel him. Chi, masterless and working for a fishmonger, meets a crafty kid (Wong Yat Lung), whose uncle Chow Tung (Chien Tat Lung) is a master of the Insane Mantis Fist. Though the crotchety old man refuses to teach Chi his technique, Chi learns what he can in secret. After yet another battle with Hsia s henchman, the battered Chi is adopted by Chow Tung. But when Hsia and his lackeys kill both Uncle Chow and the fishmonger, Chi is driven into a cannibalistic rage!
