The King Boxer (2000): cast, story & where to watch
2000 · Film
Released in 2000, The King Boxer is an action, comedy and adventure film directed by Alan Ng Siu-Hung, running about 90 minutes.
What it’s about. The King Boxer shares a name with two early 70's martial arts films, but shares a lot more with some later vintage films of the genre. Most obvious is Fong Sai Yuk, from which large chunks of plot are lifted, but the not-particularly-observant will recognise elements from Fist Of Legend and Tai Chi Master and Sammo's Prodigal Son. Well, original story lines aren't exactly a strong feature of the kung fu genre I guess tongue.gif Chin Kar Lok stars as the headstrong young (!) son of a business man who is far more interested in learning Kung Fu than business wiles, and joins the Yiyin kung fu school despite the fact their master was just defeated by their rivals and it is going to close.
Who’s in it. The King Boxer stars Chin Ka-Lok, Billy Chow Bei-Lei, Chunyu Shanshan and Eddy Ko Hung, among others.
