Chinatown Kid is a 1977 kung fu film directed by Chang Cheh. Produced by the Shaw Brothers, it stars Alexander Fu Sheng and the Venom Mob. The film deals with drugs, police corruption and gang warfare in San Francisco's Chinatown district.

Production

Chang Cheh began planning for the film in 1976 and had shot some scenes in Hong Kong before putting the project on hold for a year to complete Shaolin Temple, The Naval Commandos, and The Brave Archer. Filming took place in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States. Chang spent four days shooting on location in San Francisco's Chinatown. Due to not having secured a permit, much of the footage was taken in secret.

Before filming wrapped, Chang was persuaded by Sir Run Run Shaw to add a shooting scene after the latter learned of the Golden Dragon massacre that took place in San Francisco months after their U.S. visit. The event was later used to fuel publicity for the picture shortly before its theatrical debut.
