Watch Queen Boxer For Free

It is a performances centric movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Spoilers are all in the last paragraph.There's no real story, the acting isn't great (and not helped by rubbish dubbing as I didn't have a subtitle option). Most of the fighting takes place in the same teahouse-setting and, while the combatants, particularly Chia Ling (aka Judy Lee) are more than competent, it's rather monotonous – in one instance fifteen solid minutes of killing people with fists, feet and knives, interrupted only by occasionally running up and down stairs. The bad guys have the usual super-tough fighter, who could have been used in a one-on-one with Ling to add variety, but he just gets wiped out in general mayhem like all the faceless extras.My experience of this wasn't helped by having a really useless DVD (by Vengeance Video). I mentioned having no subtitle option. I also got the feeling (unless it was really badly shot) that the picture had been cropped. In closeup, the tops of people's heads were usually out of shot and in some cases half their heads were missing off the side of the screen. In the fight scenes this sometimes made it impossible to see what was happening. Also dim and blurry in places and the colour was awful.I guess kf purists should like this – some of the reviewers here loved it. There's no silly wirework and no clever ideas getting in the way – basically just a strong, fast, precise and highly skilled woman beating up lots and lots and lots of guys in a fairly convincing way. Apparently it's a classic, so worth a watch for any kf fan who hasn't seen it. If you're not one, stay away, especially from this poorly presented DVD.Spoilers follow, not like there's really a plot to spoil. OK, kf movies are about kf not acting or story lines but this story was a bit too nonexistent for me. Ling shows up in town, surprise, surprise, to avenge her brother. At first she acts all anti-hero, Man-with-no-name, wandering about ignoring various mayhem going on around her and making no effort to help various innocents getting victimised. When a gang of bullies force her into action, she destroys them off-screen in about five seconds. After placing a ridiculously conservative order at the coffin-shop (she really should be on commission from the coffin-maker) she heads off after the hordes of bad guys and never really lets up until every one of them is dead. There is another guy early on doing some innocent-victim-helping as well as some obscure stuff involving a casino. He happens across Ling's first mega-bustup with a few hundred bad guys, tries to help, is basically told to keep out of her way, then gets himself injured so she has to break off killing people to rescue him. As soon as she leaves him alone (to talk to some unknown guy for no apparent reason) the bad guys catch up and kill him, leaving the way clear for a climactic battle which seems to take up half the film. There's your plot. Oh, yes, I forgot the western guy with a gun. Funny how after Ling kills him (about five seconds after she first notices him, like everyone else) no-one else is capable of picking up the gun and pulling the trigger.

Judy Lee (yeah right) takes a feminist notion to Bruce Lee's opus, and to be honest, does an admirable job.The fight scenes seemed to be filmed at a slightly faster speed to add more intensity to them. It also gave it a (deliberate?) dose of humor. Whether that helps is for the individual to judge.Clan vs. Clan as it always is. With Ms. Lee playing the trump card. Of course innocents die, and revenge is a theme no one can seem to escape. This is one of those films that has people thinking that EVERYONE in Asia has a black belt in something.And of course you had your European (usually Russian) hired gun. The one that gets the sadistic death.Judy Lee did OK. My one gripe was how come she wasn't wearing the sexy outfit (Gi with miniskirt) that was on the vidbox I saw? Oh well.

I'm giving 6 points to the little jewel this film once was, presenting a pretty tough girl, very acrobatic and good with two knives, or a wood plank, or a hatchet, whatever comes handy, against hordes of bad guys.The fancy title Chase Step By Step (1982) is appropriate, as most of the many fights in the film take place up and down staircases, and though we cannot count them, the body counter shall be in par with the number of steps.Queen Boxer was once the international English title, and is also the most current version of the film, on DVD, copyright 2004 Aquarius Media Corp, SOFA Home Entertainment Inc, and GoodTimes (NY) - too many copyrights for what is a destructive job on a classic film. The content is announced at 94m and it runs 84m (those people can't even add up numbers), delete the original credits and substitute them with fancy ones, and large sequences are simply black on black, as they didn't compensate for a poorly lighted original. Also, they got hold of what may have been a bootleg copy, taken off a large screen with an amateur camera, so that we miss a substantial part of the action; as another reviewer said, the end result is as if the camera was permanently out of focus with the fulcrum of the action.A must see for Judy Lei fans, and viewers onto blade fighting. As bad as the media support is, you still have a good number of deaths, and hectic blade fighting all over. The end scene is obscenely cut by the DVD producers, reducing considerably it's original emotional impact.

Before viewing this movie I had seen her in about four others that I enjoyed.Overall this movie is not as good as them but for sure worth seeing.Since it's her first movie it's probably well known because not many females had given such an outstanding kung fu performance previously.The drawbacks in this film have nothing to do with her even though it seemed like her skills got even better in later films.This film wasn't a quality production,some scenes are out of focus,misaligned or too dark.One of the bad guys uses a pistol which for me is a bummer in a kung fu movie.One amusing scene is when about 8 toughs walking in an alley try to block off Judy Lee thinking they will have their way with her.We see very little action from Judy but do see a lot of bodies flying around.She goes on her way but the scene continues with the guys moaning and rubbing their aching parts while making comments like"who was that broad?"Not many lines are given Judy but the ones she has are attention grabbers,stopping in the doorway of a carpenters shop"Mister I'm after some coffins..two of them".Responding to a verbal threat "Ohhh you frighten me".The main bad guy has a mustaches and smokes cigars,for some reason he reminds me of Groucho Marx.When Judy invades his domain he asks" little girl what are you doing out so late?"She replies"Out to kill you".In a filmed interview Judy Lee states she was trained from childhood to be an opera performer like her parents which included dancing.This training is evident in her ballet like movements in this film.
