Hammer of God

Jimmy Wang Yu was the golden age of kung-fu film's first superstar -- even before David Chiang, Ti Lung, and Bruce Lee. And this was his first fully-realized personal kung-fu vision. He wrote, directed, and starred in this classic favorite as Lei Ming, a noble young martial arts student who doesn't know the meaning of giving up. He faces a treacherous, blood-thirsty Japanese karate expert, which leads to many memorable battles as well as several unforgettable training sequences. (Intercontinental Video)
