Lizards in Movies   The Lizard (1972)   Spoiler Alert ! Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.     This is a Shaw Brothers Hong Kong martial arts movie. Unfortunately, there are no living lizards in it despite the title. "The Lizard" is actually a martial arts master who's also a cat burgler. He dresses in black and can climb buildings without being seen. He only robs wealthy foreigners and he gives the money to the poor. (He's not the first Robin Hood character in a martial arts movie, and certainly not the last - check out Iron Monkey for another good one.) "The Lizard" leaves a red toy lizard at the scene when he commits a robbery to advertise who did it. He becomes romantically involved with a female martial artist who can defeat most men with one punch or kick. Together they fight corrupt govenment officials and the mob.
