It starts with street performers doing martial arts and acrobatics. This is one of the most frequent scenes in this genre. Then there is a twist: a flashback to other street performers doing martial arts and acrobatics. This should not have worked but somehow the first 20 minutes of this movie was one of the most creative and engaging openings in this genre. The next 45 minutes or so was just average. The final fight was all good.

Alex Lung Ji-Fei made 7 movies from 1973 to 1975, this being the first. He is another one of many martial arts movies lead actors who seems to have come from nowhere then quickly went back to where he came from. I can find no biographical information about him.

I watched this movie under the title of "He Walks Like a Tiger". It was the typical VHS quality of the old Ocean Shores releases but there were no credits. It was dubbed into English.

I have been on a mission to view and review every martial arts movie of the golden age from 1967 to 1984. Many of these movies are not good. Some are really bad. The best part of my mission is coming across an obscure movie that that has something special. It has been quite a while since I found a gold nugget in the muddy creek. It's a small nugget but gold. I recommend it for all fans of the genre and rate it above average.

Alex Lung was just one in the wild bunch of performers during the Kung-Fu craze of 70's, he made only seven movies and then dismisses. At least one of his movie, the weird Bruka queen of evil, has some cult-fame among horror gore-fans. This He walks like a tiger is just standard fare, but the fights are well coreographed by Bruce Leung (who became a star on his own), his brother and the ubiquitous Steve Lee Ka Ting, today a famous cook in Hong Kong. Produced by Emperor (Fist to Fist) and released in HK 11/29/73.
