Odd Couple is a 1979 Chinese-language action movie directed by Lau Kar-Wing, with a running time of 1h 37m. It stars Sammo Hung Kam-Bo, Lau Kar-Wing and Bryan Leung Kar-Yan.
Two ageing masters of the spear and sword engage in an epic mountaintop battle every ten years, but the outcome invariably ends in a draw.
