I’m going to begin with a small apology. I’m a massive geek and this list is anything but comprehensive. Just from skim reading it you can see that the range of films/TV I’m covering varies in quality and expectation a lot but a programme or film with low production value and awful acting shouldn’t therefore have an inconsistency such as a tough guy who just doesn’t deliver.
Basically, even though I’ll mention poor quality fight scenes, it’s the result of the character’s actions on screen that I’m criticising in this list. For example Popeye isn’t known for delivering edge of the seat action sequences but no-one can argue that he dominates in his fights. Conversely, I feel that Colt (Chuck Norris’ character in Way of the Dragon) shows up to get beaten by Tang Lung (Bruce Lee), despite being...

This is a run down of my Top 40 kung fu movies of the 1970′s. There were so many great films in this era, i just hope i do this list some justice. The movies chosen are just my personal choice, i understand others might have different views.
40.Boxer From Shantung (1972) Starring – Chen Kuan Tai, David Chiang, Cheng Hong Yip, Ku Feng
Boxer From Shantung follows Ma Yongzhen and Xiao Jiangbei. Ma and Xiao are manual laborers busting their tails in Shanghai at the beginning of the film, and Ma’s first encounter with the crime lord Tan Si starts him off on the underworld influence ladder. Step by step, he earns the respect of everyone he meets, either with his strength of character or by beating them up. When he gets a really big break by defeating a Russian strongman, he indulges himself in a fancy cigarette holder, much...
