Invincible Armour (1977)
AKA Ying zhao tie bu shan. Chow Lu Fung (John Liu) is framed for murder by his nemesis, Minister Cheng, who knows the Iron Armor kung fu technique, which makes him virtually invulnerable except for a weak spot somewhere on his body. Chow escapes and hides out in the home of a teenage boy and his older sister. Luckily for Chow, the boy knows the Iron Armor kung fu technique passed on to him from his grandfather, as well as the Iron Finger technique, which can be used against Iron Armor. Chow must defeat Cheng, also a master in Eagle's Claw, all while being pursued by bounty hunters who want his head for the reward. According to IMDB, The music for this film was stolen from the spaghetti Western Days of Anger (1967), and it's very nice for the film.
Tagline: [unknown]
Highlights: The fights are very good, fluid, and easy to follow. Teenagers that know kung fu are also cool, even when they pop up unexpectedly. The Iron Armor/Finger concept and the funny dialogue that sometimes surrounds it. The music, although stolen, is perhaps more perfect for kung fu duels than Western ones.
