Dreadnaught is a Hong Kong action-comedy film directed by Yuen Woo-ping. The film stars martial arts legend, Yuen Biao, in the lead role of Mousy, a timid laundry man who becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a violent criminal named White Tiger, played by Leung Kar-yan.
As Mousy seeks revenge for the death of his close friend, he enlists the help of a skilled martial artist and fellow laundry man, played by Kwan Tak-hing. Together, they devise a plan to take down White Tiger and his gang, leading to several impressive fight scenes and stunt sequences.
The film also features a romantic subplot between Mousy and a member of the theater troupe, played by Pauline Yeung, and a comedic performance by Ngai Sing as a bumbling police officer who is tasked with capturing White Tiger.
Dreadnaught is notable for its inventive fight choreography and use of acrobatics, including a memorable fight scene that takes place on a giant dragon costume. The film was a box office success in Hong Kong and remains a fan favorite among martial arts film enthusiasts.
