aka Dragon Squad...
I watched the German VHS titled "Die Stahlharten 4" (Die Stahlharten Vier) and there was a lot of scenes cut from the film at 84 minutes in length. I have the Four Real Friends DVD and it's runtime is 93 minutes.
I'm surprised there are no reviews on here for this movie. Starring Jimmy Wang Yu (Hsiao Pao), Chan Sing (Master Wu), Chang Yi (Master Hung) and Kam Kong (Hsun) as the four friends (or as they end up being). Also with Luk Chuen (Mr. Chin), Lung Fei (Mr. Hsu), Shan Mao (Shin Kun), Yee Hung (Tavern owner) including other stars and familiar faces.
The movie starts out in a fight where one lone man (Hsun) is defending himself against a group of thugs but escapes. Later we find that Hsun was a member of an escort party which the bandits stole coins and a case of gold. Hsun gets to town in search of help from Master Wu, but finds that he's now a worthless drunk because he just spent 6 months in prison (involuntary manslaughter) from killing a man during a fight. Wu's friend (Master Hung) decides to help Hsun by enlisting a conman (Hsiao Pao), who has come upon some evidence against the bandits and their leader (Mr. Hsu). Justice must be served.
This is a great movie from 1974 with a good story, scenery and fights. A must see for classic Kung Fu fanatics.
