CHINESE BOXER Release Date: 1970. Alternate Titles: Hammer of God. Producer: Runme Shaw. Writer, Director: Jimmy Wang Yu Starring: Jimmy Wang Yu, Lo Lieh, Wang Ping, Chao Hsiung, Fang Mien, Cheng Lei. Plot: After being run out of town, a vicious kung-fu teacher seeks revenge against his adversaries by hiring a number of Japanese karate experts to kill everyone. They do. Well, almost everyone. One man, Jimmy Wang Yu, survives. He trains a lot, dons a surgeon's mask, and seeks revenge, killing off everyone that needs such treatment. Notes: This is one of the earliest kung-fu films of the modern age, whatever that means. It has allthe elements you would expect in a Wang Yu film--brutality, evil Japanese, training, and secret styles. Not a bad film, especially for as old as it is. This story has simularities to Jimmy Wang Yu’s Chinese Professional.
