Member SDJ Posted November 11, 2023 Member Share Posted November 11, 2023 So everybody knows the "protagonist wants to avenge his murdered parents/master" cliche, probably the most identifiable kung fu movie trope to people who don't generally watch kung fu movies. But for no reason at all I've been wondering how many movies there are where it's actually the villain who revenge for something. Off the top of my head there's Master of the Flying Guillotine and Leg Fighters. I feel like I've seen lots of others in the distant past but I'm drawing a blank. There must be more, and I want to see the ones I haven't already seen (particularly the good ones), help me out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ChillyChong Posted November 12, 2023 Member Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Secret rivals 2. Crippled avengers although revenge aspect of Black Tiger is not that big in movie it does exitst. Quite loose but in My young auntie Wang Lung Wei got angered because he did not inherit family fortune but it was passed to someone else.

Member DrNgor Posted November 13, 2023 Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 Monkey Fist, Floating Snake is interesting in that the villain has the "loses and trains for redemption fight" arc usually reserved for heroes in late 70s kung fu comedies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted November 13, 2023 Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 Was Human Lanterns about a sort of twisted revenge? I can't really remember, I haven't seen it in over a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really remember, I haven't seen it in over a decade. Oh, yeah. The monkey guy wants revenge on the main character, and plots & schemes around the protagonist's catty feud with some other wealthy swordsman. Good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted November 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2023 If I remember correctly isn't Chen Kuan Tai essentially seeking revenge on anyone and everyone for his wife having her legs chopped off and his son having his arms chopped off in Chang Cheh's 'Crippled Avengers'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J.J. Hayden Posted November 17, 2023 Member Share Posted November 17, 2023 The Dragon's Snake Fist, Choe Min-gyu plots revenge after he is crippled in a duel with Kim Ki-joo. I think in Ninja In The Dragon's Den, Hwang Jeong-ri olny shows up for the final fight to avenge the defeat of his son? The following ones I'm not sure on either as it's been a while that I've watched them fully: Fist Of Fury 2? The Big Boss 2? Dance With Drunken Mantis?

Member AlbertV Posted December 19, 2023 Member Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) The Leg Fighters aka The Invincible Kung Fu Legs. In the opening scene, our hero Tan Hai-Chi kills Pan Fei (after PF tries to cheaply stab Tan after losing a duel) and his older brother Pan Pak, the Ground Kicker, seeks revenge against Tan. Both Pan Fei and Pan Pak were played by Peng Kang, one of the film's 3 fight choreographers. Edited December 19, 2023 by AlbertV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he first loses his mind then if anyone makes fun of him or his son, he dispatches them, like Philip Kwok's hawker gets blinded after asking about the son's arms and Sun Chien's legs just for bumping into them.
