Tien Hao (Hsiao) is a martial artist seeking to eliminate all experts trained in the skills of all 18 legendary weapons, due to being instructed by the superiors of his sect, the Boxer Clan. A run-in with Fang Shau-Ching (Kara) while both of them are stalking a potential target had Ti Hao unintentionally bunking with Fang's uncle, Yu (Lau Kar-leung) and upon learning the dark secret behind the Boxer Clan's indoctrinations, and both uncle's and niece's intentions to overthrow the Clan, Tien Hao decide to join their cause.

----
!!Legendary Tropers of Kung Fu:
* ActionGirl: Kara Wai's Fang Shau-Ching, who gets to kick plenty of ass alongside the boys and supervise Tien Hao in his inevitable training sequence.
* AdvertisedExtra: For the DVD release of the film, for some reason Celestial Media feels the need to [[https://www.fareastfilms.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Legendary-Weapons-Of-China.jpg plaster Gordon Liu's face all over the covers]]; in the actual film Gordon Liu's Monk Ti Tan is not even the sixth most important character in the movie, gets himself soundly beaten by by Uncle Yu, and dissappears before the third act could start, where the movie never mention Gordon's character for the remaining half an hour.
* ArmedLegs: Tien Hao have twin swords hidden in his trousers, and when ambushing Uncle Yu, sprouts swords underneath his pants and repeatedly lashes out by kicking.
* BladeOnAStick: Spears, pikes, halberds and tbe ever-iconic giant ''guandao'' are prominetly featured in the final battle, and Uncle Yu displays his sheer expertise with these weapons.
* BlindObedience: The Boxer Clan are practically indoctrinated since birth to be obedient to the point of suicidal. If they're OrderedToDie by their bosses, they will comply. Case in point? In their introduction scene, two clan members are ordered to commit suicide, by [[EyeScream digging out their eyes]] and [[GroinAttack clawing out their nuts]]. They did exactly just that.
* CoolOldGuy: Uncle Yu, the uncle and mentor to Fang Shau-Ching, and an experienced martial artist in his own right.
* EarAche: The battle between Monk Ti Tan and Uncle Yu; the former is defeated when Uncle Yu lands a FingerPokeOfDoom into Monk Ti Tan's left ear. One scene later, Monk Ti Tan is visibly bleeding out his ear hole.
* EnsembleCast: Numerous Shaw megastars including Kara Wai, Gordon Liu, Hsiao-Ho, Alexander Fu, Lau Kar-leung and the like shows up in the film, and play notable roles.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: If a character have a name and more than seven lines of dialogue, they're proficient in kung-fu and a highly competent ass-kicker in some way.
* EvilCounterpart: "Evil" is a bit of a strong word, but in a way, Gordon Liu's Monk Ti Tan can be considered this to Liu's earlier role of Monk San Te in ''Film/The36thChamberOfShaolin''. Both monks are accomplished ass-kickers who fights for the name of injustice, but unlike San Te who is righteous and abides by the Shaolin code of honor, Ti Tan on the other hand is willing to allow brainwashing and indoctrination on his recruits, and order them to die to prove their allegiance to their respective sects.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Uncle Yu, the resident CoolOldGuy wears a red oriental robe with only the left sleeve intact during the final battle.
* NighInvulnerable: Wu Mo the Charlatan, whose inner ''qi'' can deflect stabs and spear thrushes.
* NobodyHereButUsBirds: One of the funnier moments in the film: when Tien Hao and Fang Shau-ching, both of them not on the same side, tries sneaking on Monk Ti Tan from an attic, but ends up confronting each other. To avoid detection from Ti Tan, both Tien Hao and Shau-Ching start making meowing and squeaking noises, pretending to be a cat and mouse in the attic, while furiously fighting one another.
* ParasolOfPain: Wu Mo the Charlatan uses a bamboo umbrella as his preferred weapon, using it to deflect arrows shot at his direction, and then for kicking ass. One of his highlight moments involves him kicking the asses of four umbrella-wielding mooks.
* RingOfFire: Monk Ti Tan can summon a flaming circle around him by making a ring with his sash and setting it alight with his ''chi''.
* SimpleStaff: Monk Ti Tan uses a metal staff during his fight against Uncle Yu and Tien Hao.
* StockWushuWeapons: The ''entire'' film is about this, with ''all'' eighteen'' of them being featured in numerous fight scenes. The movie actually opens with Tien Hao and Fang Shau-ching using several of the typical wushu weapons to take down plenty of faceless mooks, and the final battle had Uncle Yu duelling in a courtyard filled with weapon racks containing all of the weapon types.
* SweetPollyOliver: Fang Shao-Ching spends the bulk of her screentime dressed as a male. Justified by the film's setting in the Ming Dynasty, where women aren't allowed to roam freely in public in the capital city. Tien Hao even said she "looks exactly like a man.", which is more of an InformedAttribute, because she... is kung fu-girl icon Kara Wai in men's clothes and a hat.
* TitleIn: Used in the final battle, '''every''' time a new wushu weapon gets featured, expect a large, bolded title card to announce what sort of weapon is being used. '''Staff'''. '''[[HeroesPreferSwords Sword]]'''. '''[[FightingWithChucks Three-Sectioned Staff]]'''. '''[[EpicFlail Chain Whip]]'''. '''[[BladeOnAStick Halberd]]'''. '''[[DropTheHammer Meteor Hammer]]'''.

'''[[ProngsOfPoseidon Triple-Pronged Tiger Fork]]'''. '''[[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Timber Shield]]'''. '''[[DualTonfas Double Crutches]]'''. '''[[GoodOldFisticuffs Fistcuffs]]'''.
* TrainingMontage: It's a Shaw Brothers film with kung fu in it, so naturally this comes pre-packaged.
* UnknownRival: Tien Hao is on a quest to kill off every rival martial artist who knew the skills of all 18 titular weapons, regardless of their allegiance. This is naturally confusing th Uncle Yu, Fang's mentor, who was ambushed by Tien and had to knock him out in self-defense, and later as Tien recovers from his injuries, upon waking up one od the first thing he did is attacking Uncle Yu again.
* VoodooDoll: Wu Mo ends up falling under a voodoo doll's control halfway through the film, where his movements are limited to those performed by the doll representing him. Hilariously enough, Wu Mo is somehow able to fight off a whole bunch of mooks by having his voodoo doll mimicking fighting moves. And then hilarity ensues when three of Wu's incompetent sidekicks get their hands on the doll and start passing around themselves, which translates in Wu Mo hopping, skipping, and sumersaulting himself all over the place in a ridiculous mamnner. The doll's spell is broken when Wu, being maniipulated by the doll, crashes into his partners and sends all of them, doll included, into a creek, where the spell is dispelled by water.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Mouse being Wu Mo the Charlatan, played by Shaw A-lister Alexander Fu Sheng, who had a prominent role in the film's first half, sees plenty of action, and provides one of the funniest fight scenes involving getting puppeted by a voodoo doll. But after breaking away from the voodoo curse and snapping out, Wu Mo was last seen getting out of a creek, drenching wet, and suddenly the scene cuts and never goes back to him.

* EvilCounterpart: "Evil" is a bit of a strong word, but in a way, Gordon Liu's Monk Ti Tan can be considered this to Liu's earlier role of Monk San Te in ''Film/The36thChamberOfShaolin''. Both monks are accomplished ass-kickers who fights for the name of injustice, but unlike San Te who is righteous and abides by the Shaolin code of honor, Ti Tan on the other hand is willing to allow brainwashing and indoctrination on his recruits, and order them to die to prove their allegiance to their respective sects.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Uncle Yu, the resident CoolOldGuy wears a red oriental robe with only the left sleeve intact during the final battle.
* NighInvulnerable: Wu Mo the Charlatan, whose inner ''qi'' can deflect stabs and spear thrushes.
* NobodyHereButUsBirds: One of the funnier moments in the film: when Tien Hao and Fang Shau-ching, both of them not on the same side, tries sneaking on Monk Ti Tan from an attic, but ends up confronting each other. To avoid detection from Ti Tan, both Tien Hao and Shau-Ching start making meowing and squeaking noises, pretending to be a cat and mouse in the attic, while furiously fighting one another.
* ParasolOfPain: Wu Mo the Charlatan uses a bamboo umbrella as his preferred weapon, using it to deflect arrows shot at his direction, and then for kicking ass. One of his highlight moments involves him kicking the asses of four umbrella-wielding mooks.
* RingOfFire: Monk Ti Tan can summon a flaming circle around him by making a ring with his sash and setting it alight with his ''chi''.
* SimpleStaff: Monk Ti Tan uses a metal staff during his fight against Uncle Yu and Tien Hao.
* StockWushuWeapons: The ''entire'' film is about this, with ''all'' eighteen'' of them being featured in numerous fight scenes. The movie actually opens with Tien Hao and Fang Shau-ching using several of the typical wushu weapons to take down plenty of faceless mooks, and the final battle had Uncle Yu duelling in a courtyard filled with weapon racks containing all of the weapon types.
* SweetPollyOliver: Fang Shao-Ching spends the bulk of her screentime dressed as a male. Justified by the film's setting in the Ming Dynasty, where women aren't allowed to roam freely in public in the capital city. Tien Hao even said she "looks exactly like a man.", which is more of an InformedAttribute, because she... is kung fu-girl icon Kara Wai in men's clothes and a hat.
* TitleIn: Used in the final battle, '''every''' time a new wushu weapon gets featured, expect a large, bolded title card to announce what sort of weapon is being used. '''Staff'''. '''[[HeroesPreferSwords Sword]]'''. '''[[FightingWithChucks Three-Sectioned Staff]]'''. '''[[EpicFlail Chain Whip]]'''. '''[[BladeOnAStick Halberd]]'''. '''[[DropTheHammer Meteor Hammer]]'''. '''[[HooksAndCrooks Double Tiger Hooks]]'''. '''[[OddlyShapedSword Snake Halberd]]'''. '''[[AnAxToGrind Battle Ax]]'''. '''[[KnifeNut Butterfly Darts]]'''. '''[[{{BFS}}} Broadsword]]'''. '''[[ProngsOfPoseidon Triple-Pronged Tiger Fork]]'''. '''[[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe Timber Shield]]'''. '''[[DualTonfas Double Crutches]]'''. '''[[GoodOldFisticuffs Fistcuffs]]'''.
* TrainingMontage: It's a Shaw Brothers film with kung fu in it, so naturally this comes pre-packaged.
* UnknownRival: Tien Hao is on a quest to kill off every rival martial artist who knew the skills of all 18 titular weapons, regardless of their allegiance. This is naturally confusing th Uncle Yu, Fang's mentor, who was ambushed by Tien and had to knock him out in self-defense, and later as Tien recovers from his injuries, upon waking up one od the first thing he did is attacking Uncle Yu again.
* VoodooDoll: Wu Mo ends up falling under a voodoo doll's control halfway through the film, where his movements are limited to those performed by the doll representing him. Hilariously enough, Wu Mo is somehow able to fight off a whole bunch of mooks by having his voodoo doll mimicking fighting moves. And then hilarity ensues when three of Wu's incompetent sidekicks get their hands on the doll and start passing around themselves, which translates in Wu Mo hopping, skipping, and sumersaulting himself all over the place in a ridiculous mamnner. The doll's spell is broken when Wu, being maniipulated by the doll, crashes into his partners and sends all of them, doll included, into a creek, where the spell is dispelled by water.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Mouse being Wu Mo the Charlatan, played by Shaw A-lister Alexander Fu Sheng, who had a prominent role in the film's first half, sees plenty of action, and provides one of the funniest fight scenes involving getting puppeted by a voodoo doll. But after breaking away from the voodoo curse and snapping out, Wu Mo was last seen getting out of a creek, drenching wet, and suddenly the scene cuts and never goes back to him.
