Product Description

The Cheeky Chap (1980), starring Wei Pai (Wai Pak), is a classic Hong Kong martial arts action-comedy directed by Lee Wing-Cheung. Also known as Huai xiao zi (壞小子), the film combines old-school kung fu action, comedy, romance, rivalries, and revenge in a distinctive early-1980s Hong Kong cinema style. The film was released in Hong Kong in 1980 and features Cantonese dialogue.

Wei Pai takes the lead as Ma, a young martial artist whose cocky and mischievous personality repeatedly gets him into trouble. After becoming involved in conflicts surrounding Captain Kao, a debt owed by Phoenix's father, and the notorious Sha brothers, Ma finds himself drawn into a dangerous chain of confrontations.

When Ma's actions interfere with local criminals, tensions escalate and alliances shift. His relationship with Phoenix becomes increasingly complicated as he attempts to protect her while confronting the people responsible for the violence surrounding her family. The story builds toward a climactic martial arts confrontation.

For fans of classic Hong Kong kung fu movies, vintage martial arts cinema, Wei Pai, Cantonese action films, Golden Harvest-era Hong Kong cinema, and hard-to-find Asian martial arts titles, The Cheeky Chap offers a chance to add an unusual 1980 Hong Kong action title to a personal movie collection.
