Watched Hong Kong's 1992 King of Beggars (1:40:10 )

Chan, the illiterate son of a rich general, falls in love with Yu Shueng, a beautiful courtesan who agrees to marry him if he can win a martial arts competition and become a martial arts champion second to no one on earth. He loses not only the competition but everything he has and sinks into poverty. He then meets a mysterious old beggar who endows him with unusual martial arts skills, specifically the Sleeping Arhat. He soon becomes King of the Beggar Sect, learns the 18 Dragon Stances, and foils a coup attempt against the Emperor. The movie is set in Canton during the Qing Dynasty.

I am not fond of comedies. This one, of course, was hilarious and uses the Jackie Chan template, but I was glued to it because of the props and jewelry.
