Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Postman Fights Back is a 1982 Hong Kong Martial Arts Movie directed by Ronny Yu in his directorial debut, starring Bryan Leung, Chow Yun-fat (a few years before A Better Tomorrow made him famous), Eddy Ko (from Heroes Shed No Tears) and Shaw Brothers action veteran Fan Mei-sheng, who would later co-star with Chow in Rich And Famous.Living in the cold wastelands of Northern China during the 1930s revolution era can be rough, especially for Ma, a former martial artist-turned-courier specializing in transporting and smuggling services. So when Ma and his friends are hired by the mysterious Hsu, who claims to be working for a wealthy, powerful baron and wishes to enlist Ma's assistance to deliver for him a cargo of four mysterious cases, where they will be paid handsomely for their services on the condition that they will NOT in any way attempt to find out what they're transporting, they immediately agrees to the assignment. Eager for the money, Ma and his team, including Ma's best friend Yao-jie (Yuen Yat-cho), fellow courier also hired for the job Fu Jun (Chow Yun-fat), and friendly local coal miner Bu (Fan Mei-sheng), sets off on a long trip across the cold winter wastelands of Northern China with their cargo. But their mission is compromised, and Hsu is not who he seems.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| The Postman Fights Back / int_4b0ef86e | comment |
Advertised Extra: The re-issued DVD covers of this movie would tend to hype Chow Yun-fat’s presence in this film, even though he plays second fiddle to Bryan Leung’s character Ma. Understandable, since this movie came out before A Better Tomorrow made Chow a megastar and cinematic icon. | |

Five-Man Band: Appropriately enough, there are five main characters in the courier team, and they all fit the bill of the band: The Hero: Ma the courier, who leads the team. The Lancer: Fu Jun, the weapons expert and second-best fighter. The Big Guy: Bu, a former coal miner, largest and strongest in the courier team.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Cover Innocent Eyes and Ears: When Hsu starts using the heavy machine gun to massacre the prisoners, Yao-jie quickly tells his sisters to turn around and look at him, while holding them into his chest so they can’t see the massacre. | |
