Story: Wong Fei Hung (Chiu Man Chuk), Wong Ki Ying (Lau Shun), Leung Fu, Seven and Aunt Fourteen go to the south to meet Aunt Thirteen, Porky and Buckteeth (Chan Kwok Bang. They plan to leave for Hung Kong.

However, the city where they stay before leaving is threatened by the pirates headed by Cheung (Stephen Tung Wai). Fei Hung needs to help the local people to organize an army to defense against the pirates. Fei Hung and his students disguise and enter their base on an island. It's very interesting to see master Wong fight against a 100 year old pirate on top of the vases. Off course, master Wong wins. They capture the pirates and therefore bring peace to the place (in such a chaotic China???).

Siu Qun (Aunt Thirteen) is an excellent girl. Even when she knows her sister's love to Wong Fei Hung, she still shows her understanding and tolerance. The scene when Siu Qun and Fei Hung secretly get married is nice. I just wonder how can master Wong likes other girls (or does he) when he has such a wonderful Siu Qun by his side.

Comments: the rhythm is fast and there are lots of actions. The acting is good. However, I wonder why Chiu Man Chuk's Wong Fei Hung never shows his doctor side like Jet Li' Wong Fei Hung, who is a Kung fu master as well as a Chinese doctor. It's nice to see Rosamund Kwan again. In this part, we can see all of Fei Hung's students again and they did care for each other a lot that makes their friendship brilliant. I always like Wong Ki Ying's smile, it's just so funny to me.
