YesAsia Editorial Description

Lau Kar Leung successfully introduces the genre of action comedy in his directorial debut, The Spiritual Boxer. Co-starring big names like Di Lung, Jimmy Wang and Chan Koon Tai, Lau Kar Leung makes every action scene memorable and undeniably good! No wonder this classic kung-fu masterpiece made it to the top 7 bestseller of Chinese films in 1975, also making Lau Kar Leung one of the most acclaimed martial arts directors!

Challenging the kung fu "iron armour" myth where fighters are seemly invincible to guns or knives, the spiritual boxer is escaping the police’s hunt for him. He arrives in a small town and begins his spiritual boxing, which enables him to foretell events in the future. The town people are convinced of his powers and after meeting a young girl, who boosts him with confidence, the spiritual boxer is ready to conquer the world and gain back all his losses.

Product Information


導演：劉家良
Director: Liu Chia Liang (a.k.a. Lau Kar Leung)

　　本片為劉家良導演代表作，乃1975年七大賣座華語電影之一。故事描述，汪禹因被揭偽裝刀槍不入，而被數警察追捕；汪逃到另一村鎮後為抱打不平，又在人前耍神打，乘天將下雨，自謂東海龍王化身，跳入河中隱身而去，未幾果然大雨如注，眾人真以為神靈顯現。後汪遇正直少女林奇珍，引為知己，同闖江湖……

Acclaimed action director Liu Chia-liang makes a mind-boggling directorial debut in The Spiritual Boxer, which not only quickly established Liu as a genius director but he was also credited with introducing comedy into the kung-fu genre; the pre-cursor for jackie Chan's kung-fu comedies. Its Ghostbusters meets George C. Scott's The Flim-Flam Man as a pseudo-ghost catcher, wittily portrayed by kung-fu comedienne Wang Yi, and catches more than he bargained for.

Spiritual Boxer Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
Director Liu Jia Liang first masterpiece. Actor Wang Yu is lively in his role as a con "spiritual boxer". Not much of fighting scenes as compared to Liu's subsequent movies. However, ok for pleasure viewing.
