The Victim (1980)
Reviewed by: RiceBowl on 2003-08-12
Summary: One of Sammo's top ten
Leung Ka Yan plays Chung Yau which is a run away martial artist that lives with his wife. Chung Yau is running away from Jo Wing who tryed to rape his wife. Jo Wing kung fu is too deadly to confront. Along the way he meets Chan Wing (played by Sammo Hung). Chan Wing kept on bothering Chung Yau to teach him his martial art style which was better then his, considering the fact that Chan Wing's fighting style is good enough to take on Chung Yau's relatives. The whole plot changes when Chung Yau's foster father and also master died. Jo Wing was also in the room when Chung Yau heard his foster father say his last words. Jo Wing's apperance struck a battle between Chung Yau and Jo Wing's gang. after the fight Yuet Yee (played by Fan Lei)who is Chung Yau's wife decides to leave him after being a coward with Jo Wing. She later kills her self in front of Jo Wing's men...... thats all I can tell you, but if you want to learn and see more buy or rent the DVD or VHS. The thing I like about Lau Ka Yan is that he has no martial art backround or Peking Opera training and still does the fighting movements correctly with natural ability and patience.Sammo Hung plays Chan Wing, who wants to learn from Chung Yau. The Victim is said to be Sammo's first directed job. I think Sammo did a great Job with the direction, the fight choreography, and acting. Sammo intended Jakie Chan to play the part of Chan Wing but I think Sammo fit the job perfectly. Sammo wanted this film to be unique. I like this fim because the fights were actually faster then the old school Jackie Chan ones and this film was obviously old school. In this film we also got to hear Sammo speak English

School Grade 87% must see Sammo movie.
