Old style kung-fu films always had brothel, restaurant and of course gambling scenes. Gambling films became popular in the early 80s' so it made sense to have an intense poker game standoff between early good guy, kung-fu star Chen Kuan-tai versus early villain, kung-fu star Lo Lieh. The fists and cards really fly in Notorious Eight as Chen proves once again that "flushing" out the bad guys makes great box office sense. (Intercontinental Video)
