About The Return of the Shaolin Chef
Ko Lin kills the brother of Hung Lau, an outlaw. Hung Lau, in turn, kills Ko Lin's entire family, and goes into hiding to learn and master the "natural fist", the most deadly form of kung-fu. The final battle between the two sworn enemies is a dynamic duel to the death.
Directed by Godfrey Ho, Kim Jeong-Yong, The Return of the Shaolin Chef leans on a strong ensemble — Elton Jeong Jin-Hwa, Ryong Wang, Natassia Jin Nu-Ri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1985.
