Hiya.
On my version of Magnificent Butcher, Lee Hoi San's style is translated to "Cosmic palm", and during his demonstration, he recites the different techniques as the planets Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn. Is this the same as the 5 elements styles of Hung fist? I've only recently seen demonstrations of 5 elements, and I thought I noticed some similarities in Lee Hoi San's demonstration in Magnificent Butcher. I thought this might be the case since Sammo also practices Hung in this movie.
So... Bad translation or different style?

The HKL subs translate the moves as the Five Elements: wind, fire, earth and so on
