Another fast and furious kung fu comedy classic directed by Sammo Hung (The Millionaires' Express), Knockabout features a cast of martial arts movie legends including Yuen Biao (The Prodigal Son), Bryan "Beardy" Leung Kar-yan (Warriors Two), and Lau Kar-wing (Odd Couple) alongside Hung himself. Brothers Yipao (Yuen Biao) and Taipao (Leung Kar-yan) are a couple of down on their luck conmen. After getting soundly defeated by the kung fu master, Silver Fox (Lau Kar-wing), the brothers realise it would be in their own self-interest if they learn how to fight, and they ask him to train them. Unfortunately, their new master is actually a ruthless killer, and when the brothers realise this, one of them is murdered. To get revenge, the surviving brother must learn a unique form of kung fu from an unlikely source, a beggar who just happens to be a master fighter!
