It\u2019s a classic early 1970\u2019s basher style kung fu piece as opposed to clean riptide style kung fu as we know it today.  One of my favorite shaw brother studio actor\u2019s, Chan Goon Tai plays a righteous country bumpkin with deadly kung fu skills who migrates to Shanghai to make a better living.  Unfortunately, trouble finds Chan when his morality attracts a few gangs in a middle of a turf war.  He also finds himself challenging a Russian fighter that looks like \u201cIron Mike Sharp\u201d from the WWF to make $20. David Chiang appears on the scene as an aristocratic gang leader who gets a taste of Chan\u2019s \u2018big country style\u2019 power! They both gain mutual respect for each other after this encounter. Chan\u2019s character vows to be as successful as Chiang. Badass mofos get what they wish for! With this ambitious attitude, he finds himself transforming himself from that good ol\u2019 country boy to this righteous gang leader. Yes, as righteous as a gang can get which is an oxymoron.  Chan Goon Tai finds himself reverting back to his country pride when gang wars erupt. There\u2019s an awesome final battle that y\u2019all can\u2019t miss! It\u2019s bloody, it\u2019s brutal, &#038; it\u2019s at the Teahouse! Chan Goon Tai at his savage best! I love Chang Cheh\u2019s camera work with his closeup shots when brutality stares the villain &#038; the protagonist in the face! This is definitely a Shaw Classic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG (1972) Director: Chang Cheh Shaw Brother Studios Actors: Chan Goon Tai, David Chiang The Boxer from Shantung aka Killer from Shantung was aired on WNEW\u2019s Channel 5 in the NYC area originally on 7\/31\/1982 .
