Movie has nothing to do with Huang Feihong


This movie has nothing to do with Huang Feihong at all. You could call the main character Huang Feishe, Huang Feiying, Huang Feihu, Huang Feipao or whatever and it wouldn't matter

This is a gangster movie with a Qing Dynasty setting about some idealistic idiots who want revenge on some particular gangsters and after miraculously acquiring kung fu skills from some monks kidnapping them (probably the most incoherent part of the movie) go undercover as gangsters themselves to implement their final solution

Dumb plot, bad acting, bad cinematography and worst of all, poor kung fu action scenes

That's what I thought too. They merely used Wong Fei Hong's name to sell tickets.

But, there is one aspect that borrows from the real WFH's legend. It is said that in his youth WFH took on a gang that dominated the docks. So in that sense the movie is a little bit similar.

Agreed. Halfway through I started thinking of it as Hong Wei Lo.
