Round 9: Tossup 11

In a 1966 film, a character with this trait leads a troupe of children at a tavern in a song whose lyrics reveal that a gang of mercenaries are hiding at a Buddhist temple. A beggar with this trait kills a Shaolin master with a bamboo staff and mentors Golden Swallow, a female warrior played by Cheng Pei-pei, in that wuxia classic by King Hu. The climax of a sequel to a film titled for this trait involves burning coals (15[1])in a British-owned steel factory. That Yuen Woo-ping film titled for a character with this trait was one of (*) Akira Toriyama’s cinematic inspirations for Dragon Ball. Yuen Siu-tien played a character with this trait nicknamed “Beggar So” in that 1978 action film, which parodies the folk hero Wong Fei-hung. For 10 points, the comedy that launched Jackie Chan as a leading (10[1])man is titled for a kung fu master who learns the way of what sort of “Fist?” ■END■
