Boxer from Shantung 1972

In his first starring role, Chen Kuan-tai plays Ma Yongzhen, a poor laborer from Shantung, a rural area outside of the bustling City of Shanghai. Seeking his fortune, he comes to China's most prosperous city during its pre-Communist heyday in the early part of the 20th century where gangsters rule the streets. With no money or connections, his only assets are his incredible kung fu skills and a few loyal friends, particularly the humble Xiao Jiangbei (Cheng Hong-yip) who becomes his carriage driver. A chance meeting with one of two leading gangsters named Tan Si (David Chiang) who befriends him sows the seeds for his rise and eventual fall. He also encounters thugs belonging to Tan Si's rival Boss Yang (Chiang Nan) and quickly makes enemies of them. With the lines drawn, he uses his kung fu skills to make a name for himself and take over a small piece of territory with the blessings of Tan Si. Ma begins to challenge Yang, who confidently hatches a plan to get rid of Tan Si and this young upstart. Threatened and looking for revenge, Ma lashes out at Yang and his entire army of hatchet-wielding goons in a last-ditch effort to determine who will run Shanghai's underworld.
