[edit] Plot
The movie involves two stories concerning the original 10 Tigers and their future disciples. The film opens with Tung Chi (Wang Li) and his nephew pursuing the disciples to take revenge for General Lang who was Wang Li’s brother. After killing one of the disciples, Wang Chow Ming (Lung Tung Sheng) and Lin Fu Sheng (Chin Siu-Ho) tells the story of the original 10 Tigers:
Anti-Ch'ing revolutionary leader Chai Min Yu (Ku Feng) is being hunted down by Manchu General Liang (Wang Lung Wei). He is almost caught when a masked man rescues him from death and escapes with him. The masked man is Li Jen Chiao (Ti Lung) a loyal ex-Shaolin man and the owner of a pawn shop in town. Li Jen Chiao hides Chai Min Yu in the back of his pawn shop, and sends his younger brother Tan Ming (Fu Sheng) to seek the help of two other ex-Shaolin men who reside in the town, Wan Yi Ling (Sun Chien) and Su He Hu (Lu Feng). Tan Ming is temperamental and is ALWAYS getting into fights, and of course, he starts fighting with Wan Yi Ling and Su He Hu before he explains the reason for his visit. Luckily, Li Jen Chiao is able to explain the situation in time, and the two man gladly swear their allegiance. They are also joined by loyal Shaolin brothers Wong Yin Lin (Wei Pai) and Wong Kee Ying. Beggar Su (Kuo Chui), Iron-finger Chung (Lo Mang), Chu Yu Sheng (Chiang Sheng) also join in the fray to assist the revolutionary in escaping and killing General Liang
Back to the future, Lung Tung Sheng and Chin Siu-Ho plan a counter attack to kill Tung Chi and his nephew before they can kill the remaining 10 Tigers.
