Guest Morgoth Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I was watching Brave Girl Boxer in Shanghai from 1974 and there is a gang of karate students who all fight with hatchets. Can anyone think of a movie before 1974 that had a similiar gang? I think there was a Wang Yu movie that had something like this. Maybe One Armed Boxer?

Guest TheManInWhite Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 How about a little movie called Boxer from Shantung which came out in 1972? Also, it's used in Queen Boxer which came out not too long after BFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Morgoth Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Are you sure it isn't One armed Boxer? I haven't seen the movie in a while but I think the rival school carried hatchets. I know Return of Chinese Boxer pretty well and I don't remember an axe gang. Man in White- I have seen Queen Boxer but I haven't seen Boxer from Shantung. Now I am going to hang my head in shame...

Guest Morgoth Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 thanks White Tiger. hkcinemagic has Rage of the Master being from 1972, but I don't know for sure if they are correct. So it looks like we have 1971 or 72 as the earliest date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
