Overview
Man of Iron was positioned as something of a follow-up to Boxer From Shantung, the rise-and-fall story of Ma Yung Chen and it reunites the directors and some of the cast in a similar but much slighter tale of a lesser gangster’s rise and fall in Shanghai. While the opening narration specifically recalls the events and tragic conclusion of BOXER, this one is set 20 years later in the same section of Shanghai but otherwise has nothing to do with the events or characters of the previous film.
Length 92 minutes

Viewing Notes
A “sequel” to THE BOXER FROM SHANTUNG but really just a remake with the same people playing the same characters with different names, following the same basic plot again.
I’d love to see a version of this story when it’s the kept woman who’s doing all the behind-the-scenes manipulating and no one realizes it til after they’ve all wiped each other out. Then she moves in to take over. That’d be pretty great!
