Half a Loaf of Kung FuDiscovering a bounty note on the body of the great whip hero, Jackie impersonates him so he can collect the reward on the also-dead bandit. While out strutting he bumps into his former boss and the woman he spied on. He runs off, but they catch up. He then accidently kills his former boss and is only saved from a thorough thrashing by the woman when a passing beggar (who is also a Kung Fu master) intervenes. Jackie begs him to teach him Kung Fu, and eventually the beggar agrees if Jackie will run an errand for him first. The errand turns out to be escorting a treasure (the evergreen jade) which every bandit in the area wants to steal. The story then becomes very complicated with every character either working for or being related to every other character. Since everyone seems to guess he's not the real whip hero (the real whip hero's sister even turns up) Jackie eventually learns some Kung Fu by reading a manual, so that by the end of the film he's an expert. |
