Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hwang Jang-Lee was so feared for his kicking accuracy that co-stars reportedly wore steel cups. The man kicked actual holes in wooden doors to practice.
The Iron Armor technique references real qigong practices, though the film's 'invincible' version is pure Shaw Brothers exaggeration. The Eagle Claw style was Hwang's actual specialty.
