Instant Kung Fu Man (1977)

In the heart of the Shaolin Monastery, Hsia Hu, a cunning yet undertrained disciple, manages a stealthy graduation, slipping away into the world unprepared. His crafty tricks compensate for his deficient Kung Fu skills, yet nothing could prepare him for the chaos that awaits him. As he ventures into the bustling world outside, an uncanny truth unfolds — he is the spitting image of his estranged twin brother, Hsiao Fu, a notorious bandit renowned for his exceptional Kung Fu prowess. The innocent Hsia Hu finds himself ensnared in a web of mistaken identity, being both revered and feared as his criminal counterpart. He relishes in the respect and fear he commands, turning the tables on the unsuspecting populace with his newfound status. Yet, his joy ride screeches to a halt when he crosses paths with Yi Lan, a formidable former ally of his brother, now a bitter enemy. As Hsia Hu navigates this unexpected turn of events, the Shaolin Monastery and a ruthless robber, each with their vested interests, set their sights on the twins. A chaotic whirlwind of confusion and intrigue ensues as the twins interchange their identities, leaving the monastery monks and the robber in a baffling chase. "Instant Kung Fu Man" is a riveting tale of mistaken identities, clever ruses, and the thrilling dance of Kung Fu, all wrapped in a narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. As Hsia Hu steps into his brother's dangerous shoes, will he manage to master the art of Kung Fu in time, or will his crafty tricks fall short against the mounting threats? Only time will tell.
