Member David Rees Posted November 17, 2008 Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 Its uncut as far as i know. An ok film if you like swingy arm type choreography. Suffers from awful sound remix tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member SamuraiDana Posted November 17, 2008 Member Share Posted November 17, 2008 THE CHINESE BOXER is probably the most important kung fu film of its era, the one that, more than any other, paved the way for the kung fu film, as a distinct genre, to flourish in the 1970s. I daresay that the success of THE CHINESE BOXER made Bruce Lee's films at Golden Harvest a more feasible proposition. Had THE CHINESE BOXER not been made, Lee certainly would have come out in starring roles anyway at some point, but maybe not when he did and maybe not in the type of role he did. THE CHINESE BOXER came out in the U.S. in the spring of 1973 in an English dub called THE HAMMER OF GOD, not long after FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH was released in the U.S. I would definitely choose this over SPIRITUAL BOXER, an interesting film but not a particularly distinguished one.

Member chen lung Posted November 18, 2008 Member Share Posted November 18, 2008 According to Spannick, Celestial's master suffers from frame-cuts (at the end of a take - splices) and cuts throughout (like facial re-actions). All likely done to save time/budget, or out of laziness. However, we mustn't blame Celestial - hitting on forum members posting images is a more important use of their time.

Member The Dragon Posted November 20, 2008 Member Share Posted November 20, 2008 I find it unwatchable due to the appaling audio job! If you've watched the washed out, faded, colorless, hissing audio, of the VHS copy I've had the last 15yrs, you wouldn't complain about that, my friend.

You know some of us want to see the film in its intended language? That said, the dub for it is not bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
