Showdown at the Cotton Mill (Chinese title: 胡惠乾血戰西幝寺; Mandarin: Hu Hui Chien xie zhan xi chan si), also released as Cold Face, Heart and Blood, is a 1978 Hong Kong martial arts action film directed by Wu Ma.
It is a sequel to the 1976 film The Shaolin Avengers, which was co-directed by Wu Ma and Chang Cheh and stars Kuan-Chun Chi as Hu Hui-Chien.
[citation needed] After achieving much fame and glory from smashing the cotton mill, Shaolin hero Hu Hui-Chien has become the people's champion and the sworn enemy of the Ching government.
A master leg fighter named Kao Chin Chung, whose "Flash Northern Legs" are undefeated in the whole of China, travels to Canton at the invitation of the Ching government to kill Shaolin master Hu Hui-Chien.
This leads to the classic northern kicks and southern fist duel.
