My Life’s on the Line (1978): Cast & Plot

The film centers on the infamous Fong Chin, famously known as “Minute Fong,” a kung fu virtuoso whose lightning-fast strikes are timed against his father’s gold watch. In the martial-arts world, this skill earns him both fascination and fear: some see him as a tool for payback, a ruthless hitman, while others wish him dead for the collateral damage his methods leave in their wake. A scheming low-life, unaware that Fong Chin is right beside him, attempts to arrange his own murder to cover up the crimes he’s committed—crimes that include the murder of his father and other misdeeds. In a decisive display of precision, Fong Chin eliminates the would-be killer and his henchmen in under a minute, proving that his reputation is more than mere legend.
