龍虎小英雄/龍虎少爺 (Treasure Hunters) is an 1982 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Alexander Fu Sheng and Gordon Liu. The movie is action slap stick that would eventually birth Stephen Chow's type in the 1990s.
There a treasure linked to a Monk. The mystery has spread across the martial arts world and many people want their hands on it. Enter a clueless monk, a couple of street thugs, and a sinister mastermind. Death and misunderstandings ensue until the end for the final super long battle.
This movie was towards the end of the Shaw Bros era and where people were sick of kung fu flicks. You'll see the rise of modern flicks from other major studies of the time like Golden Harvest that incorporate kung fu a la Jackie Chan. In comparison, the formula they incorporated here was more the old style super long fight scenes. Which does get tedious and the blood looks real fake.
However, it was still fun to watch while I was washing my dishes. I caught this via Amazon Prime.
