Wikipedia article




'The Master' (known previously in the United States as '3 Evil Masters') is a 1980 martial arts film produced in Hong Kong. It was directed by Lu Chin Ku and produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio. While 'The Master' was Lu's attempt at kung fu comedy similar to Jackie Chan movies of the time, he continued on to create films with a more fantastical flair.

In the story, the three antagonists, each with a certain fight gimmick, defeat Jin Tuan-Yun and take over his kung fu academy. A young student, Ko Han, nurses Jin back to health, and in return is taught a variety of secret martial art techniques in order to win back the school.
