Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Thunderbolt Fist is a Shaw Brothers action film set in the post-Second Sino-Japanese War, starring Chuan Yuan (in his only leading role), Shih Szu and James Nam.Prior to the outbreak of war, a legion of Japanese Ronin are terrorizing a small town in the North-western Chinese border. Led by the ruthless Master Takashi, the Ronin are willing to steal and rob from the populace, until the heroic local fighters led by Master Fang decide to challenge the Ronin to a public duel, in exchange for the town's freedom. The Ronin obliged, but after Master Feng had won the duel, in the following night a group of Ronin ambushed Master Fang, killing him and nearly claimed the life of Tie-wa, Master Fang's young son, who was saved by the Fang's loyal butler and delivered to a neighboring family of kung-fu practitioners, who proceeds to adopt Fang and train him on a path to revenge.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A decade later, Tie-wa and his childhood friend, Hu-dieh - daughter of his adoptive father and his childhood mentor - sets out for revenge.See also The Deadly Knives, another Shaw production released in the same year. Or Fist of Fury, the Bruce Lee flick that inspired this particular sub-genre of "loyal-Chinese-vs-evil-Japs" kung fu films which was popular in the early 70s. | |

It all comes back to Takashi as part of his Karmic Death: having his arm ripped off by Tie-wa, the latter using his feet. | |

| The Thunderbolt Fist / int_953a8ee8 | comment |
Age Cut: To depict the leads' growing up. Tie-wa and Butterfly are shown sparring as children while Butterfly's father watches, and after Tie-wa launches Butterfly into a backflip when they are kids, she then lands... as an adult in her twenties. | |

Action Girl: Hu-dieh, or Butterfly, played by the Shaw action babe Shih Szu. She is an expert fighter, mentored Tie-wa despite being younger than him, is a Robin Hood-style thief who steals from the Ronin and assists the townspeople, and kicks plenty of ass in the finale, killing numerous katana-wielding Ronin while using two tiny daggers. | |
