The Victim (orig. Shen bu you ji) is a Hong Kong comedy kung-fu film that was released in 1980. Starring Sammo Hung and Leung Kar-Yan, the film is also known as Lightning Kung Fu and San bat yau gei. The approximate running time is 100 minutes. The release of this film in the USA was in June 1982.

Although he had only a very small role in The Victim, former Opera School student Yuen Biao played a key part in the making of this movie. He was one of four action choreographers on the film, and doubled several of the stars for martial arts and acrobatics.

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

Leung Kar Yan is an action actor who is well-known for his intense style, but even he found this film a challenge. He has recalled many times of the exhaustion he felt in filming the final fight scene, much of which he was not doubled for.^{[citation needed]}
