The ‘Tiger' in the film's title can be the beast in the legendary tale or the film's villain, a town bully named Flying Tiger, as always played by the wonderful and always villain-ready Sek Kin. Having Wong defeat it/him on stage is therefore a multi-dimensional self-reflexive wink at the audience. The film also features an amusing double-take of the lion's dance, first performed as horseplay, then in the most serious and demanding fashion. (Source: HKFA) Edit Translation
