Identify this movie

Possibly "lion" or "boxer" in the title (not sure at all). 

screenshots From a faded copy (no English subtitles). Opening is some kind of fire. Finale has some chain whip fight.

The name of the film is Legend of the Lion Dancer from 1985.

Black and white movie ?

The second picture seems familiar.

Could it be possible that you can extract the Chinese title from the picture and post it here ?

And the actors' names from pictures 4, 5 and 6 as well, please ?

It's actually not black and white, just extremely faded. Old DVD with no label....not sure how to extract titles.

Yes, but in order to make some searches, I need it outside of the picture, and I don't know how to do it.

According to my OCR translator it's "Legend of Lion Dancer" if that helps get someone started

A grainy little still from it...

Oddly, there's no HKMDB entry for this one. Maybe it's a rarity?

As soon as I figure out how to get some English subtitles on it, I can put together a custom.

It's got some pretty unique fight choreography. It's a 1985 film but feels like a basher from 1975, just faster.

I don't. I've only scanned the film and checked out the subtitles. The version I found had no subs.

I might be able to do an auto-generated subtitle translation and fix some of the colors since the picture is quite faded on the version I have.

Here's the Chinese title so you can search it:

舞狮人侉奇

I tried doing some searches of the title, but there's barely anything.

Thanks. At least, I got the confirmation that it's a Mainland movie, and I got the synopsis from the site tv-sohu.
