The above is one of my favourite Kung Fu movies. The actors are: Bryan Leung Kar Yan aka Beardy, Chi Kuan Chun and the late Alexander Fu Sheng(another one of my favourite actor and martial artist). The bad guy who played the Chief of the Boxer Spiritual sect was Wang Lung Wei. He happened to be one of Fu Sheng's closest friends.
The movie depicts the Qing dynasty use of the Boxers to attack and kill all foreign elements in Peking(now Beijing). The foreign nations formed a coalition from 8 nations to fight the Qing and her Boxers. The countries are Great Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary, USA and Portugal. They invaded Peking as the foreign legations were attacked. So opportunities for plunder and pillage as in most wars
Lots of fighting and the story told from the Chinese side.

This movie also depicted the foreign nations as "devils" slaughtering innocent Chinese and committing rape and other atrocities like the beheading of captured boxers.
Quite a one sided story as the Boxers had also did their share of killing of the Christian missionaries and other foreign establishments. But in terms of fighting, it was an enjoyable movie to watch.
