Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Opium and the Kung Fu Master is a 1984 Martial Arts Movie directed by Tang Chia, starring Ti Lung and Chen Kuan-tai. Produced by Shaw Brothers, this is the only film featuring the two actors, at the peak of their popularity near the mid-80s, where they get to pummel the snot out of each other.Master Tieh Qiao-san (Lung), leader of the Ten Tigers of Canton and one of the most respected kung-fu practitioners of the Manchurian era, had fallen from grace during the peak of his power. A newly-established opium parlor owned by Master Rong (Chen), formerly one of the Ten Tigers but now a corrupt dealer of opium in charge of distributing drugs throughout Canton, convinced numerous locals, civilians and important officials alike, to indulge in the new drugs, and began overcharging the afflicted populace with his opium while having his underlings force civilians into trying his drugs as well. It's up to Master Tieh to regain his skills after going cold turkey, and pout an end to Master Rong's opium-dealing activities.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Big Bad: Master Rong is a corrupt martial arts leader who willingly took over the distribution of opium to the local populace, and is actively spreading the influence of drugs to the public.
