Boxer from Shantung

Rating: 8/10

A small-time hood uses his fighting mastery to become the boss of his own gang. Features a fight with a giant European wrestler and a long, bloody finale in which the hero has an axe in his belly half the time. The movie is a bit too long but that final fight really makes up for all the fluff. Like Man of Iron, the lead character isn’t terribly likable but I guess he makes a little effort not to be a really bad crime boss.
