Synopsis
Dirty Ho (1979) is a Shaw Brothers martial-arts comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Lau Kar-leung. Gordon Liu plays the eleventh imperial prince, living under a false identity among antique dealers rather than competing for the throne — every one of his twelve brothers is quietly trying to have him killed.
His solution is to recruit Ho Chin-doon, a small-time thief, as an unwitting bodyguard who has no idea who his client really is. Assassins keep arriving disguised as merchants and art collectors, and the prince dispatches them without letting his cover slip — which means most of the fight choreography plays out while he pretends to sip wine or examine ceramics. Lau Kar-leung's staging is the real attraction: the combat is fast and technically precise, but it looks like something entirely else until the last second. Watch Dirty Ho online on iFILM.
