Yuen Woo Ping knows action - and he's been at it long enough to prove it. Known for his work on The Matrix (1999) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Yuen also directed the enormously entertaining 1982 martial arts comedy The Miracle Fighters , starring his brothers Yuen Yat Choh, Yuen Cheung Yan, Yuen Shun Yi and Yuen Jan Yeung. Martial arts student Shu Gut (Yuen Yat Choh) is mistaken for the crown prince of the Imperial Court, and is enlisted by the villainous Sorcerer Bat (Yuen Shun Yi) to attempt world domination. But the faux prince is not so enthused about the new arrangement. Luckily, he finds help from the Old Man (Leung Ka Yan) and Old Woman (Yuen Cheung Yan), mystical neighbors who know some crazy and magical martial arts - with an emphasis on the word crazy! Miracle Fighters is not known for a stellar plot or gripping intrigue, but instead entertains in nearly every other way imaginable. The film possesses an odd sense of humor but also boundless imagination, and features hilarious action sequences that must be seen to be believed. Yuen Woo Ping and his brothers give the action a supernatural theme, but also a comedic one, with numerous surprising, action-packed, and comic set pieces that haven't lost their ability to entertain even decades later. Collectively known as the Yuen Clan, Yuen and his brothers were responsible for many of Hong Kong Cinema's most entertaining and inventive action films, including Buddhist Fist , Dreadnaught , and Legend of a Fighter . Perhaps most famously, Yuen Woo Ping directed his own father, Simon Yuen Siu Tien in the 1978 Jackie Chan classic Drunken Master .
