		Year: 1983 Director: Brandy Yuen Starring: Yuen Biao, Dick Wei, Sam Hui Genre: Action/martial arts Literal title translation: 'Disturbance Ox'

Yuen Biao is a young troublemaker who looks after his sick uncle. He dreams of playing in the local soccer team alongside the town's hero striker (Dick Wei). However, after getting a job for the team as a ballboy Yuen realises that money and fame mean that everyone's idol is accepting bribes to throw the game...

Feeling quite similar to Jackie's early Golden Harvest film's 'The Champions' is quite an enjoyable hour and a half marred by a number of little points. It obviously does not take itself too seriously and most of the action and humour arises from Yuen Biao accidentally bumping into someone every ten minutes or his trousers falling down. It moves quite fast though and the football sequences are particularly inventive, although they bear no resemblance to real life football at all. Yuen Biao flips around the ball, kicks his opponents in the face and does whatever he likes. This means that there are no fight scenes as such but instead hyper-realistic football that only a graduate of the Peking Opera school could perform. Dick Wei plays the bad guy role well but the end is quite unsatisfying and you never feel that he gets what he deserves. Also you are never quite sure whether Yuen Biao is actually a good footballer or if all of his goal scoring opportunities arise through incredible good luck.

The direction is extremely bad but this can easily be ignored as the film has a very good nature and is merely out to entertain. It is good fun and the premise allows it to stand out from the other films of the period. The kind of film that Yuen Woo Ping would feel at home directing around this time as the non-action and comedy scenes are quite similar to his 'Drunken Tai Chi'.
