A Raiva do Vencedor

A Raiva do Vencedor (1973)

刁手怪招

A história começa de uma maneira estrondosa, com a nossa heroína a ver um homem descontrolado a arrancar o corpete de uma rapariga de quinta em dificuldades. Incensada por esta brutalidade e sem dúvida ofendida pela única cena em topless do filme, ela bate com o punho numa parede de tijolo e mata o homem com o seu distinto "golpe de dragão". Entra o herói masculino do filme, o irmão, que repreende a irmã por usar esta arma mortal e proibida. A história começa então com seriedade, pois o irmão e a irmã acabam por proteger uma pobre rapariga órfã que tem um valioso colar de jade que um sindicato criminoso nefasto está desesperado por obter.

Curiosidades

Little Tiger of Canton, also known as Cub Tiger From Kwang Tung, is a 1973 Hong Kong martial arts action film directed by Ngai Hoi-Fung and starring Jackie Chan. Chan was 17 when footage for the film was shot in 1971, and it is considered to be his first starring role. A re-edited version of the film, Master with Cracked Fingers, was later released in 1979.

Background

Cub Tiger From Kwang Tung was filmed in Hong Kong in 1971, but only saw a limited cinema release two years later. The small independent release was shelved after its brief run and never received an international release. In the late 1979, in the wake of Chan's success in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow and Drunken Master (both 1978), the film re-emerged at Hong Kong cinemas, in a poorly re-edited version with some newer footage of Dean Shek and Yuen…

The amalgamated footage was sold to US film producer Dick Randall, who dubbed and repackaged it, and gave it an alternative title, Master with Cracked Fingers. The rights were subsequently sold to 21st Century Distribution who gave this version of the film a brief run in US cinemas in 1981, under the title Snake Fist Fighter.

Since Chan became more popular in the West, particularly after the US release of Rumble in the Bronx (1996), the repackaged film has seen numerous VHS and DVD releases from a wide variety of film distributors in the US and UK.

The original film, Cub Tiger From Kwang Tung was finally given an international DVD release for the first time in 2007. It was released in the UK (DVD is 0 region) on Showbox Home Entertainment's Rarescope label. This is the complete original 85 minute film, as it was released in Hong Kong in 1973, without edits and additions. It contains the original Mandarin soundtrack and imbedded English/Chinese subtitles.
