Hahou Mo is a martial arts expert and police self-defense instructor, who is incarcerated for involuntary manslaughter during a fight with an opponent. Three years later, Fung Yu-Sau is a martial artist who challenges retired martial arts master Mak Wing-Yan in a fight and soon kills him. Hahou learns about Wing-Yan's death and tells Inspector Luk Yuen-Sum that he offers to aid her in capturing the killer with his martial arts skills in exchange for his freedom. After agreeing his terms, Luk temporarily releases Hahou.
Hahou and Luk deduces that another two masters Tam King-yiu and Wong-Chit will killed by Yu-Sau, which is proven correct. After reuniting with his wife Sinn Ying, Hahou, along with Luk soon learns about Yu-sau's identity. They also finds that Yu-Sau is actually obsessed of defeating great martial artists in order to become a martial arts master and also forget his wife's death. Thinking that Yu-sau's next target is Chan Pak-Kwong, Hahou, Luk and his team spies on Pak-Kwong at his restaurant, but later finds that Yu-sau's target is actually Pak-Kwong's student and actor Hung Yip.
Hahou, Sinn, Luk and his team learns about Yu-sau's location and waits for him to arrive. It is revealed that Yu-sau's target is actually Sinn where Hahou prevents him from killing Sinn. Yu-sau escapes again, but Hahou tracks him at the highway and the two intensively battle each other. After the fight, Yu-sau gets shot by Luk while Hahou is taken to the hospital. In the aftermath, Hahou gets permanently released from prison, where he is later appointed again as the police self-defense instructor and also forms his own martial arts school.
Was it difficult to involve all those people from the Hong Kong kung fu movie industry?
They knew why I asked them to come. And they all wanted to pay their respects to people who work behind the scenes and came without asking how much they would get paid. I appreciate all that they did because it was from the heart.
Which title to you like more: Kung Fu Killer or Kung Fu Jungle? I think the original title sounds cool like an old women in prison movie.
The distributor thought Kung Fu Jungle was not powerful enough. Actually, I like Kung Fu Killer.

As someone who grew up as a competitive fighter, and spent the majority of her teenage years with fellow martial artists traveling from one tournament to another on a bus with a small black-and-white TV which screened every martial arts movie ever made on a 24-hour loop, I am certain about one thing: Coming up with a great plot for a kung fu movie is not an easy task.
Teddy Chan's combination police procedural and kick-butt action film provides a sturdy vehicle for longtime Hong Kong star Donnie Yen (Ip Man), who at age 51 proves he's still in good enough shape to deliver all the right moves. Featuring a slew of Hong Kong movie veterans in cameo roles and an extended tribute montage during the end credits, Kung Fu Killer will surely please genre aficionados even if it's unlikely to repeat the crossover success of such martial arts epics as The Raid and its sequel.
The charismatic Yen, who also served as the film's "action director," plays the central role of Hahou Mo, a former kung fu instructor imprisoned for accidentally killing one of his opponents. He's sprung from jail to help a police unit led by Detective Luk (Charlie Young) track down a deranged, club-footed serial killer who's been dispatching various martial arts grandmasters, each one of them in the exact fighting style in which they specialized.
The rudimentary storyline mainly serves, of course, as an excuse for a series of elaborately staged fight sequences taking place in such exotic settings as a tattoo parlor, a film set and, most baroquely, atop a giant replica of a human skeleton. It all culminates with a lavishly staged climactic set piece featuring Hahou and the villain (an entertainingly over-the-top Baoqiang Wang) duking it out in the middle of a busy highway, barely dodging massive tractor trailers along the way.
Filmed with the sort of fluid camerawork and kineticism that seems to largely elude its American counterparts, the film (released as Hong Kong Jungle in its native country due to Chinese censorship restrictions) overcomes its formulaic elements with its superlatively choreographed fight scenes, which are only occasionally augmented by special effects. The sort of film that would be best appreciated in the '70s-era grindhouses that, sadly, no longer exist, Kung Fu Killer is delicious popcorn fare.

Robert's online dating adventures lead him to a beautiful woman named Luna, whom he invites for the weekend. Unfortunately, Huey, Riley and Robert soon learn that Luna is an expert on deadly arts of kung-fu...and is somewhat psychotic.
The episode begins with Granddad trying to find a beautiful young woman to date through online dating sites (which he discovered from Riley in "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back") but with no more success than his first attempts. He becomes increasingly upset as each date fails to live up to the online photos they post on their respective profiles.
Determined to not give up, Robert turns to web-cams to better his chances of finding a real 'cutie-pie'. This proves fruitful when Luna (voiced by Aisha Tyler) agrees to spend the weekend with the Freeman family. Both of the boys are a little wary, Riley especially believes she is going to steal their cash, but Granddad dismisses their concerns and assures the boys everything will be fine. Huey simply does not believe meeting someone so early is wise.
When Luna arrives, she is physically everything Granddad has hoped for. A visual gag shows her Myspace photo set floating next to her as she stands in the doorway, for comparison purposes. The woman comments that she looks just like her photo. That night, the Freemans and Luna enjoy a nice dinner, though the mood quickly shifts after Luna reveals she owns wolves (fifteen of them, along with a Dalmatian and two retrievers) and is a master of 'White Lotus Kung-Fu'. Huey is deeply disturbed by this, for being an expert in martial arts himself, he knows it to be the 'deadliest style'. While Granddad is quite a bit nervous, this soon turns to an object of horror among the family after Luna explains her participation in the mythical secret mixed martial arts master tournament known as the Kumite - everytime someone says Kumite, a sound effect from a Kung-Fu movie is heard for a second. In a flashback, Luna is shown in one on one deathmatches which she dominates, before ripping her opponent's still-beating heart out (a reference to Mortal Kombat). Luna herself is quite indifferent to such homicidal tendencies, even going as far to joke about them.
The Freemans excuse themselves and regroup in the bathroom. Having been freaked out by the truth of Luna, Riley asked why Granddad invited a killer kung-fu wolf bitch to their home. Both boys insist that Granddad end his date immediately, but Granddad is not willing to end the date with Luna on the grounds for fear that she may use one of her 'exploding nutsack techniques'. Meanwhile, Luna is on her headset with a friend named Nicole (voiced by Tichina Arnold), who seems to believe that Luna should not take fault in anything that may have caused Robert to act strangely. Huey tells Granddad that that Luna cannot really be a White Lotus master, and leaves the bathroom to express his skepticism to Luna herself. She offers to give him a demonstration in the form of 'a friendly sparring match'. Huey accepts, and ends up being utterly and severely beaten. She later regrets it and punches a hole in the wall for beating up Huey.
After recovering, Huey gives Granddad an alibi to get Luna out of the house. Unfortunately, Granddad doesn't stick to the story he and Huey agreed on - thinking it wouldn't work. The next day, he botches the plan by claiming to be the party planner for Fidel Castro's birthday, with Jay-Z providing transportation to Cuba. Luna takes the bait, and leaves to the delight of the Freemans, particularly Huey, who believed Granddad's "Fidel Castro's birthday" excuse wouldn't work. However, Luna is soon enlightened by Nicole that Castro's birthday isn't until August, so she quickly turns her car around and drives back. Robert is seen playing checkers with Uncle Ruckus at the park, both unaware that Luna is spying on them while they are playing their game. During their conversation, Robert talks to Ruckus about his recent date and luck with women in internet dating. She overhears Robert calling her a "crazy bitch", which infuriates her. On Nicole's advice, a very angry Luna decides to make Robert pay.
