Is This Film Available Under A Diff Title?

Since people at this board are so helpful with info on obscure, weird movies, strap this one on for size: It's a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD imported Kung Fu film from either the 70's or early 80's and it was called NORTHERN FIST AND SOUTHERN KICKS. I cannot find it available on video ANYWHERE under that title but maybe a description will tickle the memories of a few of you who may have seen it under another title (don't you hate how so many bad movies are known by umpteen titles?)   Anyway, the film features the lead fighter SPITTING A TOOTHPICK from his mouth with such force  that IT PIERCES HIS OPPONENT'S FOREHEAD AND KILLS HIM!!!??.  This oral accomplishment pales compared to the climactic fight in which the male lead and the obligatory Spunky Female Martial Artist each suck up water from a nearby pond or stream and proceed to SPIT THE WATER AT THEIR OPPONENTS WITH THE FORCE OF A FIREHOSE, defeating all of them, and best of all the water just keeps on coming out of their mouths for what seems like forever in one of those wonderfully surreal moments that Bad, Bad BAAAAD Kung Fu movies have.  
Memorable also is a bit where our "hero" makes with an inane laugh and then says "I AM an idiot!"(yes with the emphasis on the word "am" as if he's agreeing with someone's assertion that he's an idiot although noone has said anything like that to prompt the remark.)   And the very end when the obligatory Old Man Who Is A Kung Fu Master And Kicked The Young Guy's Butt Earlier In The Film Before Teaching Him His Skills replies to his student's gratitude for the lessons by telling him  "I forgot to tell you - I was DRUNK the whole time!"    They don't  make them like that anymore.....
Any help would be appreciated.

One suggestion is to type that title into the search box on the I.M.D.B. and if it's on there it'll show a list of all alternate titles for that particular film.

I also believe the I.M.D.B. has an entire seperate section on alternate titles for films.
Not 100% on that though.  I haven't dug around in it enough yet.

www.imdb.com

Try that.

Thanks, but I tried the IMDB and sadly it led nowhere(surprising when you consider they even have films like THE CLONES OF BRUCE LEE (My favorite Bad Kung Fu Movie of all time!)
