'The Chinese Boxer' (; also known by its international title 'The Hammer of God') is a 1970 Hong Kong action kung fu film written, directed by and starring Jimmy Wang Yu. Tong Gaai was the action director. 'The Chinese Boxer' was a box office success at the time of its release and is currently considered the first classic in the non-wuxia, Kung Fu genre, or specifically the unarmed combat martial art films that center more on training and prowess than fantasy/adventure. It would prove influential to subsequent films like 'Fist of Fury'.[http://www.coolasscinema.com/2016/05/the-chinese-boxer-1970-review.html The Chinese Boxer (1970) review] 2016-05-27, Cool Ass Cinema
