What The Victim Is About

Chung Yao, a martial arts expert, has been on the run since the night he caught his stepbrother attacking his wife. The man has never given up the chase, and Chung Yao and his wife live in permanent fear of being killed. Sammo Hung both directed and stars in this 1980 film, and the choreography of the fights is its real strength. As Hong Kong cinema of the period habitually did, it holds comedy, action and melodrama in one picture. There is a hard subject at the centre of the story, though, and the ending is a long way from the genre's usual cheer.
