THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG (1972)


  Watching the full uncut version of this recently made me realize how censored down these Shaw Brothers movies were back when I used to watch them on TV as a little kid. There's lots of blood on show here, especially in the big final fight which is the highlight of the movie, which was not in any version I ever saw of this before. A bit on the long side at 2 hours and 14 minutes the ending really makes up for it if you can endure. AKA KILLER FROM SHANTUNG

 There have a been a couple of remakes of this over the years including 1997's HERO which I haven't seen and 2014's ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHANGHAI which is nowhere near as good as the original.
