When Arthur Lam stumbles into a Hong Kong back alley ambush, he expects to become another statistic. What he doesn’t expect is to be rescued by a scrappy, battle-hardened pack of strays – and to discover that these dogs possess something no sifu has ever taught him: the purest form of fighting instinct ever witnessed.
Forget the ancient scrolls. Forget the temple training. The real secrets of martial arts have been living in the gutters all along.
Watching his four-legged saviours, Arthur sees it all – the explosive commitment, the beautiful unpredictability, the ferocious loyalty. He begins to train differently. To move differently. To think differently. And when he takes his ragged, improvised style – Mad Dog Fist – from the streets to the ring, the Hong Kong martial arts world has absolutely no idea what’s about to hit it.
Part underdog story, part love letter to Hong Kong action films, and entirely laugh-out-loud funny, Mad Dog Fist asks the question nobody thought to ask: what if man’s best friend was also his greatest martial arts teacher?
You can’t predict a Mad Dog. You can’t intimidate one either. And you definitely can’t stop one.
Based on the incredible true story.
