The Boxer from the Temple

In stark contrast to elaborate plotlines and opulent sets, director John Lo Mar chose simplicity and substance for his martial arts movies. Collaborating with choreographer Hsu Hsia, he focused on creating authentic and intense fight scenes that resonated with audiences. In this particular film, Wu Yuan-chin takes on the role of "the Kid," a monk skilled in the unique fighting style known as "Crazy Lo Han Fist." As the narrative unfolds, "the Kid" engages in an epic battle against the cruel son of a bandit and forms a bond with a mistreated prostitute. The film then delivers an unrelenting series of action-packed fights, showcasing Lo Mar's mastery of martial arts cinema.
