What happens
Killer Constable (Chinese: 萬人斬; aka Karate Exterminators, Lightning Kung Fu, Blood Brothers, or Karate Warrior ) is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts-action film directed by Chih-Hung Kwei, starring martial arts star Chen Kuan-tai. The movie was produced by the Shaw Brothers studio and is a loose reworking of the 1969 movie The Invincible Fist by the film director Chang Cheh, a frequent collaborator of Chih-Hung Kwei. Killer Constable began a transition from the earlier Shaw Brothers studio films to the more cynical film noir approach of the later Hong Kong New Wave. It was Chih-Hung Kwei's one and only period wuxia film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
