Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Giallo Fanatic It was overall good, the acting was good, the story was good, the characters were interesting and the fight scenes were good. Leung Kar Yan is as usual a pleasure to watch on screen. His acting often remind of that of another great actor and that particular actor I have in mind is Toshiro Mifune. What Leung and Mifune have in common is they are able to act outrageously but still convincingly. Their energy often comes clearly across the screen. Although I gotta admit Mifune is a far better actor. But the most impressive thing about Leung is he does not have any martial arts background, making the fight scenes more impressive. Sammo Hung, what can I say? He is as good as ever. Except I felt his character was a little incoherent. His character was fun but it was a character who seemed to lack direction, like as if the character was thrown in as an afterthought to make the plot more coherent. There was nothing wrong with Hung's acting and he is more than often good at portraying those kind of characters. The character he was portraying just seemed a little unnecessary.The story was good, but what stalled the movie a bit is the incoherent plot. The plotting of 'The Victim' is a little incoherent compared to movies such as 'The Iron Fisted Monk', 'Warriors Two' or 'Knockabout'. What made it kind of incoherent is its general lack of focus. It jumps from one scene to another with no apparent focus except for going to fight scenes and slapstick comedy. I like both, but what set the Hung movies from the other Kung Fu movies are the focused plots in my opinion. Well, it is not for story or plot movies like this are made but I often feel a solid plot with good acting and fight scenes combined with sufficient production value are what make a solid kung fu movie. So since 'The Victim' lacks a more coherent plot it is not completely solid but it is not bad either. Overall I think this movie has re-watch value and should be worthy of being part of a collection. After all it has some pretty good fight scenes, interesting story, good acting and not bad production value. Don't miss it, any kung fu movie with Leung Kar Yan and Sammo Hung are worth watching. 7/10

movieman_kev Chan-Wing (Sammo Hung) is an arrogant young kung-fu fighter who goes around testing random strangers to see if he can find someone better than himself who can be his Master. After some searching he finds passive Leung Chun-Yau (Ka-Yan Leung) who refuses to be Chan-wing's Master despite his undying and comical determinacy to get Leung to do so, until an ongoing family feud threatens to consume Leung's relatively peaceful life. The light hearted comedy of the first 30 minutes turns to a slightly darker, but none the less thrilling tone for the rest of the film. Excellent choreographed fighting sequences, an engrossing story, and a touch of humorous comedic moments make this a delight for even the most casual Sammo Hung fan. Not to discount Ka-Yan Leung in the least, as he's simply amazing in this film as well.My Grade: A DVD Extras: Commentary by Ric Meyers and Bobby Samuels; a compilation 'Martial Arts Theater' trailer; and Trailers for "Running out of Time", "Dragon Inn", "Armageddon", and "the Duel"

jugilus I just watched this movie yesterday and it just might have been the best kung-fu movie i have ever seen!It was funny and had lots of really great choreography!! Even Jackie and Jet couldn't do any better than this.

abentenjo Sammo's remarkable masterpiece is ideally a classic vehicle to showcase Leung Kar Yan's talents (he's simply never looked better), but The Victim seems to work on many other levels: the action scenes are worthy of Sammo's legendary status as a choreographer; the comedy touches are subtle enough and occasionally quite funny; and with it's outpouring of high-octane drama - detailing an ongoing family feud - this is thoroughly more exciting than other run-of-the-mill kung fu pulp. Sammo plays his typical happy-go-lucky who seeks out a new sifu, Leung Kar Yan, a man with clearly problems of his own: his brother (Chang Yi) tried to rape his wife and has therefore been on the run ever since. Will Leung ever face up to his enemy or just continue to run? The Victim is a true late night classic; still fresh and entertaining even after all these years.
