About The Reckless Cricket
Cricket (Hon Kwok-Choi) wants to be a kung fu master so he can marry Ah Zhu (Yau Chui-Ling) because her father thinks he is weak. So she gives him gold bars to get proper training. Cricket encounters various teachers that are really con men that take his gold yet Cricket still manages to learn kung fu to face those standing in his way.
Directed by Kuei Chih-Hung, The Reckless Cricket leans on a strong ensemble — Hon Kwok-Choi, Yau Chui-Ling, Lo Lieh — 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 1979.
