The Victim (Chinese: 身不由已) is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film starring and directed by Sammo Hung.

Chun-yau has developed into a fine kung fu fighter who is on the run with his newly-wedded wife Yuet-yee (Fanny Wang) from his adoptive brother Cho-wing (Chang Yi), who is madly in love with his sister-in-law.

Now, Cho-wing has made it his goal to hunt down Chun-yau and his bride, prompting the newlyweds to spend their lives together running in fear from the gang leader.

After stealing the body of his wife and laying her to rest, Chun-yau finally begins training Fatty in the kung fu style his step father taught him, "The Iron Cross".

During a training session, Fatty spots a gang member watching them from some tall grass so he tells his sifu and gets a knife to dispatch him.

After Chun-yau dispatches the hired expert and gives the gang members a good beating, they got the message and left the two brothers to handle their own business.

Although he had only a very small role in The Victim, former China Drama Academy student Yuen Biao played a key part in the making of this film.

Karl Maka, a frequent co-star with Hung in such films as Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon and Odd Couple, has an unusual deadpan role as a Shaolin abbot.
