The iron fist agenda

King Boxer (1972)

Directed by Chang-haw Chung this film also known as “Five Fingers of Death” stars Lo Lieh, Wang Ping and Tien Feng. King fu schools in China face off over an up coming tournament that will decide the kung fu king of the country.

The plot of this film is pretty basic and largely an excuse for lots of fight sequences. Mostly the film trots through a simple hero's journey as the protagonist learns the secret of the iron fist to over come the bad guys. I enjoyed the fight sequences but they were not as good as some of the other Shaw brothers films I have seen.


3/5
