| Description: ln a 1973 fiIm that bares many simiIarities to Bruce Lee's debut film The Big Boss, The Awaken Punch's Henry Yu Yang pIays an aItruistic fighter who begins to buiId a name for himself as he vioIentIy cIeans up a town from within its more seedier eIements. But when he must abide by a promise to his dying father to give up his fighting ways, he will be faced with a new chaIlenge in the arrivaI of the knife-throwing master Tien Feng (Fist of Fury) and his gang. With action from the Iegendary Yuen Woo-Ping (Matrix, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and a cameo from a young Jackie Chan and others, this basher is the epitome of the Punch and BIock vioIence that began a long trend within MartiaI Arts cinema. USA aka titIe: Fury of the BIack Belt. The Prodigal Boxer (1972) is an early take on the Iegend of martial artist Fong Sai-Yuk (later to be portrayed by the Iikes of Jet Li and AIexander Fu-Sheng), here pIayed by Mang Fei. Once Fong InadvertentIy kiIIs a student of the rival schooI run by Iron Hand Tan (Kurata Yasuaki), this action Ieads to a series of near death confrontations between the men concluding in a tournament battIe of the ages. Choreographed by Shaw Brothers' Lau Kar-Wing (the brother of the great Gordon Liu and Lau Kar-Leung) this fiIm represents the brawling style of the time as weII as the genesis of the more styIistic Shapes trend of martiaI arts action that would soon foIIow. Bonus features incIude: Original TheatricaI TraiIers to both fiIms, Creative Chaos: The Basher Genre: an interview with Michael Worth and Action Choreographer John Kreng, Audio Commentary on The Prodigal Boxer with actor/director Michael Worth and CIones Cast/Cinema Bushido host Matthew Whittaker, Essays on the Basher genre within Kung Fu Cinema History |
