Shatter is a 1974 action film starring Stuart Whitman, Lung Ti, Lily Li, Anton Diffring and Peter Cushing. It was the second and final international co-production between Hammer Film Productions of England and Shaw Brothers Studio of Hong Kong. The film was shot entirely on location in Hong Kong. Plot outline Shatter (Stuart Whitman) is a hitman contracted to kill a dictator in a certain African country. He completes his assignment and returns to Hong Kong to collect his fee, only to learn that he himself is the next target of the assassination because he was intended to be used as a scapegoat by his client for a larger political agenda. Being pursued by various government agencies and gangsters, Shatter seeks help from a master martial artist Tai Pah (Lung Ti) and promises to share half of his fee in exchange for Tai Pah's protection and assistance in recovering his fee.

Don Houghton provided Brown with a script for an action film originally titled Shoot. The film was originally set to start filming in Canada in August 1972 but was halted when Brown went bankrupt, leading to the project being shelved. Houghton's father-in-law had connections with Run Run Shaw, who ran Shaw Brothers studios. The original meetings between Carreras were set up for the production of the film The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires, which also led to the production of Houghton's unused script for Shoot which was developed into Shatter. Shatter was filmed from December 17, 1973 through January 15, 1974 on location in Hong Kong, including Kai Tak Airport. Monte Hellman was signed on to direct but was fired during production less than two weeks into shooting, leaving Carreras to finish the film himself. Carreras complained "In my opinion, the action scenes lack excitement, the dialogue scenes are dull and Hong Kong looks like a slum. I just don't know how to salvage it." Among the cast was Peter Cushing, it would be his last feature film for Hammer. Cushing's scenes were filmed in four days . A new
