The Victim (Chinese: 身不由已) is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film directed by Sammo Hung and starring Hung and Bryan Leung. It was released in the US as Lightning Kung Fu in June 1982.

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. 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 Hung in such films as Skinny Tiger, Fatty Dragon and Odd Couple, has an unusual deadpan role as a Shaolin abbot.
