Overview
He steals from the rich and gives to the poor! Like Robin Hood, the title hero of The Lizard is a philanthropic thief, except the Lizard makes his rounds in 1930s Shanghai. Corrupt police chief Chen Can (Law Lit) is assigned to bring down the Lizard to appease the sinister Japanese forces, but the Lizard constantly eludes his grasp. Little does Chen Can know that the wily thief actually works for him! The Lizard’s true identity is the mousy Cheng Long (Ngok Wah), who dons a mask and takes to the streets to spread his righteous message.

Viewing Notes
Slow moving at times but a pretty good Shaw Brothers production from the early seventies. The fight scenes are well choreographed: it’s always nice to see Connie Chan kicking some ass too. And of course the great Lieh Lo does an excellent job as the villain.
