Siu Ming TsuiSchauspieler:
Dicky Cheung, Mo Tse, Priscilla Wong, Debbie GohMitte der Dreißiger Jahre träumen junge chinesische Sportler von einer Teilnahme an den Olympischen Spielen in Berlin, doch das Budget von einer halben Million Dollar, das so ein Auftritt mit allem Pipapo geschätzt schon verschlingen täte, sind ein Hürde. Kurzerhand beschließen die Sportler, ihre Künste in öffentlichen Auftritten zu versilbern bzw. auf kreative Weise Mäzene zu gewinnen. Noch aber ist unklar, wer überhaupt fährt, und so entbrennt unter den Kung-Fu-Schulen ein Streit, der auch mit Appellen an den Patriotismus nicht ohne weiteres beizulegen ist.
Set in 1930s China, the film details the trials of a group of athletes who desire to compete in the Olympic Games. There’s a snag, however. The full amount required to send them abroad for the games is 600,000 dollars, and the government is only sponsoring half. It falls to the athletes to raise the rest themselves, and they start by saving every last penny they earn. They also attempt to raise the money through a variety of fund-raising activities, including street performances, networking for donations, and probably a bake sale, too. After deciding to fund their own way to the games, the athletes take to the streets to perform all manner of athletic demonstrations and martial arts moves in an energetic and impromptu street fair.
