Synopsis
Watch The Prodigal Son (1981) online — a Hong Kong martial arts comedy directed by Sammo Hung. Yuen Biao plays a wealthy young man in Canton who is absolutely convinced he is the city's finest fighter. What he does not know is that his overprotective father has been quietly paying every opponent to lose.
The delusion ends when a travelling Peking opera actor — the deceptively calm Lam Ching-ying — drops him without a second thought. Too humiliated to go home, he begs Lam to teach him Wing Chun from the beginning. Sammo Hung choreographs the fights with the kind of technical rigour that makes the style legible rather than decorative — equal parts comedy about a punctured ego and a serious study of how a martial art actually works. The film took the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Choreography. Stream The Prodigal Son (敗家仔) online on iFILM.
