Hero of Shanghai

It starts with still photos over the credits then Kuan Tai-Chen gets a rickshaw ride. It seems not many people can read. He is looking for a friend from his village. He is promptly framed for murder and beaten. He fights back. His rickshaw driver testifies to clear him. KTC vows to find the real killer. At the funeral a narrator tells KTC the names of all the visitors as they enter. Later a guy warns KTC to keep out of it. Next he is invited to some big shot for a talk. He suggests KTC kill the guy if he finds him. Next some guys try to rope him. Woo Gam says they were her men. Rickshaw guy keeps following him. Next he meets another woman and they talk. More talk in a big room and suddenly someone is killed with a knife and no one saw who did it.

I have this movie as a DVD, obvious bootleg variety and as a digital file. Both play to look wide screen but are actually cropped on all four sides. This gives an overall feeling that the scenes are too close up. There is a small amount of pan and scan. There are many scenes with abrupt cuts that play as if a missing a few feet of the film. The dialog is English by the A team of voice actors. The DVD has bonus material (You Tube videos) and it is excellent. It's hard for me not to like a Kuan Tai-Chen martial arts movie.
