Meer oor hierdie fliek

Months before Bruce Lee burst into the international scene with Enter the Dragon, this powerful story of tragedy, torture, redemption, and revenge premiered across America under the unforgettable title Five Fingers Of Death. And, under that title, it went on to become the first international martial arts movie hit, and a perennial best-selling video. It made a continent-spanning star of Lo Lieh, and established the Shaw Brothers as the preeminent studio for high quality action and adventure. Now, finally, after more than thirty years, the original King Boxer takes its rightful place as the film that started it all for the Western world. Not surprisingly, the tale of an honorable fighter's retraining in the "Iron Palm“ style after corrupt invaders crush his hands remains as potent and exciting as when it premiered.

One of the very best kung fu movies I ever seen beside Enter the Dragon. Saw it when it first came out as Five Fingers of Death.

Seen it a long time ago I liked it then

A Classic, the single best movie, before Enter the Dragon , of course a Run Swaw Production.
