Quirky director
Chu Yen Ping (who made cult film PINK FORCE COMMANDOS in the '80s and
later SLAVE
OF THE SWORD) tells the story of an orphan raised in a kung fu school
until he's kicked out for fighting with a bunch of thugs. He then meets
a 'manager' who sees cash in the unique skills. The boy is recruited by
a basketball team with an eye on the championship. The fun begins! Obviously
inspired by SHAOLIN
SOCCER but what a ride!
