Five Fingers of Death
Come prepared for the thrill of a lifetime!
Directed by Jeong Chang-hwa
Produced by Shaw Brothers
A classic martial arts action film that balances tournament spectacle with a hero's moral awakening, driven by kinetic fight sequences and a straightforward good-versus-evil narrative.
A young boxer joins a martial arts school to increase his skill so he can enter a martial arts competition. He leaves the school when he hears that a local gangster is terrorizing the town. He comes to the aid of a young singer and brings on the wrath of the local gang. He eventually enters the martial arts competition after learning iron palm technique and takes out all competition.
