Shaolin Deadly Kicks (1982)

A Chinese kung fu directed by Ma Wu.
A group of thieves steal a map to a buried treasure and split the pieces of the map between them. They plan to meet in 3 years to get the treasure together, but end up fighting amongst themselves over the pieces.
Same shit, different title. This was a little better than the ninja ones, but not very much. The plot was slightly more coherent and some characters more identifiable. Not the slightest mention of Shaolin or deadly kicking in any way (standard disregard for title). The traditional Chinese setting was much appreciated. Based on the competition, I'll be nice and rate it o.k.
