It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Sammo Kam-Bo Hung has crafted a masterpiece of classic martial arts action. Do not miss this.This film contains some of the best martial arts fight scenes ever shot. Long takes, complex action with large numbers of participants, but most importantly, absolutely stunning choreography and plenty of it. Even in intense action sequences Samo can add a moment of humour before the intensity starts again.The plot is decent (for a martial arts movie). The comedy is slapstick orientated and thankfully mostly works.As any fan of Asian action cinema knows, it's the fights that matter and these action sequences deliver in spades. Samo Hung is a legend amongst fight fans, but sadly largely unrecognised outside Hong Kong aficionados for his absolutely massive contribution to action scenes that Hollywood slowly picked up on. Unfortunately, they still don't grasp many of the concepts Samo and his fellows, like Jackie Chan, created in the 80's Golden years of Hong Kong cinema. Fight editing is dire in Hollywood.Sadly, every copy I can find is not of the best quality, even the DVD. I really wish someone would do a restoration job on it.I've watched this more times than I care to think about. Every single time, the action makes my muscles tense and I hit the rewind too often. It really is that good!A solid 10 for martial arts fans. Do not miss this one. 7/10 for others.

It was overall good, the acting was good, the story was good, the characters were interesting and the fight scenes were good. Leung Kar Yan is as usual a pleasure to watch on screen. His acting often remind of that of another great actor and that particular actor I have in mind is Toshiro Mifune. What Leung and Mifune have in common is they are able to act outrageously but still convincingly. Their energy often comes clearly across the screen. Although I gotta admit Mifune is a far better actor. But the most impressive thing about Leung is he does not have any martial arts background, making the fight scenes more impressive. Sammo Hung, what can I say? He is as good as ever. Except I felt his character was a little incoherent. His character was fun but it was a character who seemed to lack direction, like as if the character was thrown in as an afterthought to make the plot more coherent. There was nothing wrong with Hung's acting and he is more than often good at portraying those kind of characters. The character he was portraying just seemed a little unnecessary.The story was good, but what stalled the movie a bit is the incoherent plot. The plotting of 'The Victim' is a little incoherent compared to movies such as 'The Iron Fisted Monk', 'Warriors Two' or 'Knockabout'. What made it kind of incoherent is its general lack of focus. It jumps from one scene to another with no apparent focus except for going to fight scenes and slapstick comedy. I like both, but what set the Hung movies from the other Kung Fu movies are the focused plots in my opinion. Well, it is not for story or plot movies like this are made but I often feel a solid plot with good acting and fight scenes combined with sufficient production value are what make a solid kung fu movie. So since 'The Victim' lacks a more coherent plot it is not completely solid but it is not bad either. Overall I think this movie has re-watch value and should be worthy of being part of a collection. After all it has some pretty good fight scenes, interesting story, good acting and not bad production value. Don't miss it, any kung fu movie with Leung Kar Yan and Sammo Hung are worth watching. 7/10

What a fantastic film. I really wasn't expecting much, it just seemed like a run of the mill 1970s Kung-fu flicks, but boy was I wrong. Chung Yao (Leung), a martial arts expert, has long been on the run from his step-brother who he caught trying to rape his wife on their wedding night. His brother has never given up the chase however, and Chung Yao lives in constant fear that he and his wife will be murdered by the vengeful step-brother. On one of his visits to the village, Chung meets Fatty (Sammo) who is insistent on becoming his servant. Sammo's attempts at winning Chung's favour takes up the first half hour/ forty five minutes of the film, and it's hilarious. Chung has got no patience for a fool like Fatty, and he tries to dodge and lose him in a number of comical and exciting situations including a hilarious set-up at a sauna.As the film progresses, a really strong story develops, and even though it may initially seem like one of those typical kung-fu vengance movies of that period, it really isn't. There was not one dull moment throughout, and the last half an hour both fight-wise and plot-wise was just mind-blowing. You really wouldn't expect such an powerful and intelligent ending, but watch it and be bowled over. There are some excellent fight scenes between Fatty and Chung, and Sammo gets to do many of his trademark stunts with all the usual wit and energy. But the real icing on the cake has to be the closing fight between Chung Yao and his step-brother, top-notch stuff. From someone who really isn't a fan of the period Kung-Fu flicks of the 1970s/early 80s all I can say is: See it now. 10/10
