| In Fearless Hyena, Jackie Play plays a young man whose grandfather and teacher, Master Chen, escape from the tyrannical Ching Dynasty and come to live in his village. Although Jackie wants to learn martial arts more than anything, his grandfather won't permit this out of fear that the villainous Ching rulers will come after him. After seeing his grandfather murdered, Jackie promises to get revenge. So he enlists the aid of Master Chen, who teaches the young student kung fu. Soon, the pupil has learned enough to make him invincible -- even against the infamous "death blows." Now, Jackie sets out to avenge his grandfather's death. | |||||||||||||||||
