From Kung Fu Cinema:

The fights are the main seller here. Sammo mixes it up with a number of excellent battles involving various weapons and kung fu techniques such as Fung Hak On’s excellent northern Mantis Fist and Chan Sing’s various southern boxing forms. Although the action doesn’t reach the technical brilliance of Warriors Two (1978) or The Prodigal Son (1982), the climatic and bloody final bout featuring both Sammo and Chan Sing must be seen by even casual fans.
...
Overall, Sammo hits the right notes in this film with uniformly terrific kung fu action. For his level of creativity and genius when it comes to action, the film also enjoys the distinction of being one of the best of its kind from the era and is certainly a landmark title. With Chan Sing in a memorable role that aptly features his rugged skills and a cast of familiar faces, many of whom would go on to stardom in the future, The Iron Fisted Monk deserves recognition as a true classic of the genre.

The final showdown is really well done and has a nice touch of humor. Note that this is Sammo Hung's directorial debut. Already his genius showed through.

I know I said that David Chiang's performance in Shaolin mantis was the best in his career. That was before I saw The Loot. I was wrong. His best performance ever would be his role in The Loot, co-starring alongside Phillip Ko and Norman Chu. All 3 martial stars are excellent in this kung fu flick which features incredible fight sequences, spectacularly and elaborately choreographed, doused with a healthy dose of good humor.
David Chiang is really fast and energetic here and hilarious when doing his monkey fist. His execution of kung fu here is almost flawless, a hundred times better than in his earlier films.

The Loot is an excellent kung fu classic and you should buy the dvd if you call yourself a kung fu fan.

Thanks go to psychoper of Cinemageddon fame for this rip.
