Help Me Identify a Kung-fu Classic
Must have seen it fifty times, but I can't remember what it's called (and it probably has several names).
Anyhow...
It's about a little boy who is raised/training in a temple (Shaolin?), and eventually becomes a skilled fighter. He goes through a series of training tasks (prominent part of the flick), and ultimately battles an enemy. And there's some business about a special move that he does, which has a name.
Pretty vague, I know.
So, need the name(s), and I'd like to know if it exists on DVD. Somehow, the name "Master Killer" is stuck in my brain.

Jim:
No, it was the late '70s as I recall. It used to run all the time on Channel 5 in NY/NJ. They had a Saturday Kung-fu theater, and this played frequently.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
Awesome. I was right, "Master Killer." Looks like it's available on DVD. I owe you a beer.

Whoa! I was chuckling when I read this:

...because that is the plot of just about half of the Kung Fu movies out there, or at least the ones I have seen 
Good job!

Hmmmm, maybe you guys could help me with an oldie. Saw it so long ago so my mind is sketchy on the plot.
A guy is taught a special kung-fu style that uses ordinary objects as weapons. I remember during the training sequences with his kung-fu master. They were eating and they started dueling using their chopsticks as weapons along with their bowls, their stools, benches, whatever was handy. Very cool scene.
Anyway, (here comes the fuzzy part) they hook up with different people who all have their own unique fighting styles and they all agree to fight along with them. I think someone had swords, someone had a pole, etc.
The setting of this movie is in a town and I remember the finale being this grand fight in some courtyard that required each fighter working together to defeat the enemy.
I think this movie was made in the 70's (early 80's at the latest) because I watched it when I was a kid.

I know I've seen this scene before. I'm thinking that it is a Jackie Chan film. Maybe Fantasy Mission Force?
