Chinese Boxer

The Chinese Boxer

The Chinese Boxer is a 1970 Hong Kong martial arts film produced and distributed by Shaw Brothers Studio, directed by and starring Jimmy Wang Yu, and featuring fight choreography by Tong Kai. The film co-stars Lo Lieh and Wang Ping. It was a considerable financial success on release, and codified Wang Yu's superstar status. It is considered the first classic in the Kung Fu film genre, centering unarmed combat in a contemporary or semi-contemporary setting, without the fantasy or period elements prevalent in wuxia. It would prove influential to subsequent films like Fist of Fury.
