Cast
1. Dragon (Jackie Chan)
A young man who belongs to a lion dance dojo. He was once an orphan, but he was raised by Master Tien and has been training hard.
(The man who became an international star by comical kung fu movies. "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" (1978), "Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars" (1985), "Heart Of Dragon" (1985), "The Armor of God" (1986), etc.)

2. Master Tien (Tien Feng)
Owner of the lion dance dojo. He is a thoughtful person who raises orphans, but some students are reluctant to follow his rigorous lessons.
(Actor who is good at a role of "severe but thoughtful father". "Fist of Fury" (1972), "Dragon Lord" (1982), "A FIST FULL OF TALONS" (1982), etc.)

3. Tiger (Wei Pai)
Dragon's brother. Like Dragon, he was an orphan and was raised by Master Tien. However, he betrays his Master and is banished.
(He mainly appeared in kung fu movies.)

4. Sang Kung (Shih Kien)
Local police chief. He is trying to capture the fleeing criminal Kam and his minions. His favorite cigar pipe is his weak point.
(Because he knew Bruce Lee's father, he starred in "Enter the Dragon" (1973). In "The Private Eyes" (1976), he played a humorous villain.)

5. Sang Kung's son (Yuen Biao)
A man trying to catch Dragon with a small bench.
("Knockabout" (1979) made him a popular star in Hong Kong. "The Champion" (1983), "Project A" (1983), "Wheels on Meals" (1984), "My Lucky Stars" (1985), etc.)

6. Sang Kung's Daughter (Lily Li)
She guides Dragon, who has fallen into a "bottomless swamp" and is muddy, to the bathroom.
(Woman kung fu star. She has appeared in many movies and played Yuen Biao's elder sister in "TWO FINGER FIST" (1979).)

7. Bad guys (Fung Hak-kun (image), Lee Hoi-sang)
Kam's minions. They entice Tiger to help Kam escape. The scene where they fight Dragon is humorous.
(Both are famous actors for a role of villain. Fung Hak-kun: He fought fiercely with Jackie in the department store in "Police Story" (1985). Lee Hoi-sang: He often plays a strong but losing character. "Enter The Fat Dragon" (1978), "Dirty Tiger, Crazy Frog" (1980), "The Tower Of Death" (1980), "Heart Of Dragon" (1985), etc.)

8. Kam (Hwang In-Shik)
A dangerous criminal who uses terrible kicks. He betrays his minions and tries to monopolize treasure.
(He was hurt by Bruce Lee in "The Way of the Dragon" (1972) and fought Jackie Chan again in "Dragon Lord" (1982).)
