Fast Fingers

Hsu Hsia, a great kung-fu actor himself, both directs and leads a team of four martial arts choreographers for this deft-digited tale of kung-fu pickpockets (including handsome Chien Hsiao-hou) who dodge the top cop ("Venom" muscleman Lo Meng) but run afoul of a killer club owner (king of Shaw Brothers villains Wang Lung-wei). There's assassinations, assignations, and many battles which require both light-fingered larceny as well as two-fisted (and feet) fighting. The result is a fondly remembered, exceptional cult favorite.
