too lethargically paced early 70s fare for my likes. the structure is linear so holds very little surprises, and even less attractions. i'm pretty disappointed here because this is supposed to be one of the greats, but the whole thing just left me wanting. read

Part of my 2022 Martial Arts Mondays King Boxer (Five Fingers of Death is a name Warner Bros, gave this film when they released it in the US, and is not the name it should go by) is on the very highest level when it comes to Hong Kong martial arts movies. It's the classic tale of good vs evil. Our hero is of course going through a lot of trials and tribulations, before the showdown at the end. The story is simple, but very well told, and the level of acting is outstanding. Both heroes and villains are great, but I have to single out Lo Lieh. What a likeable read more Was this review helpful to you?
