What happens
The Chinese Boxer (Chinese: 龍虎鬥; lit. 'Dragon Tiger Fight', also known by its international title The Hammer of God) is a 1970 Hong Kong martial arts film produced and distributed by Shaw Brothers Studio, directed by and starring Jimmy Wang Yu, and featuring fight choreography by Tong Kai. The film co-stars Lo Lieh and Wang Ping. It was a considerable financial success on release, and codified Wang Yu's superstar status. It is considered the first classic in the Kung Fu film genre, centering unarmed combat in a contemporary or semi-contemporary setting, without the fantasy or period elements prevalent in wuxia. It would prove influential to subsequent films like Fist of Fury. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
