Fearless Tiger - Jalal Merhi (1991) - Lion's Club Pavilion, The Peak

In one of the cringiest scenes I've ever had to watch, Lyle heads up the mysterious mountain (i.e. the Peak) to find the great "master" in the hope of learning from him. It turns out the master has a daughter who also hangs out there doing her dance stuff. Cue some weird scene of her twirling around as Lyle tries to out shape her with some kung fu moves that look like they were made up by a teenage fanboy. The dude was obviously aiming for ancient Chinese master/student mysticism but basically hit comedy gold, Monty Python style.

It's nice to see the old curvy Peak Viewing Tower in the back of the 5th image below. This had already been demolished by the time I made my first trip to Hong Kong in 1995.

The chubster busts out some shapes

Lyle returns later to receive more tuition in the art of "grabbing metal stress balls from another person's hand" - as we all know this is really useful stuff for when we get attacked by metal stress ball-wielding fiends. It may or may not have come into play later on the film but, truth be told, I was so busy forwarding through all the crap action that I might easily have missed it. Surely he wouldn't have been shown this skill unless he was able to use it later? Anyway, I think I've already spent far too long on this film.

 

Look, even Bolo thinks this guy is a douche
