Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Long Road To Gallantry is a 1984 Shaw Brothers film starring Kenny Ho Kar-kheng (nowadays better known for his portrayal as Constable Zhan from Justice Bao) and Kara Wai.Kenny Ho, fresh off acting school in one of his earlier leading roles, plays Du Meng-fei, a martial arts student who had completed training. Leaving his school to seek adventures, with his teacher's advice of upholding gallantry as his motto, Meng-fei ends up getting himself dragged into a martial arts war when trying to save Li Tsai-nan (Kara), the daughter of a martial arts sect leader, from a band of thugs.For some inexplicable reason, despite the film being well-received and Kenny Ho receiving praise for his portrayal of Meng-fei, Kenny would instead pass on an opportunity into becoming a movie star, showing up in TV series for the later part of his career. To date, this is Kenny's first - and ONLY - leading role. But who are we to judge his choice though?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

An Ice Person: The Big Bad, Chief Leng, whose inner chi can make him freeze objects by touching. Demonstrating his powers to the audience on a large bowl containing a goldfish, he solidifies the water (goldfish and all) into a half-sphere block of ice, shattering the bowl in the process. His skills can also kill opponents by freezing the blood in their veins, and nearly kills Meng-fei in the penultimate fight.
