Amazon.com:
Better known in the United States as Five Fingers of Death, this spectacular mix of martial arts action and Western-style melodrama from the legendary Shaw Brothers Studios helped to light the fuse for the kung fu movie explosion in the early '70s. Indonesian actor Lo Lieh is the young acolyte caught up in a struggle between rival martial arts schools; after one villainous outfit murders several of Lieh's classmates with the help of hired killers, he trains to develop the invincible 'Iron Palm' technique and defeat the opposing school. Korean director Chang-hwa Jeong delivers stunning (and very violent) action set pieces (set to a dizzying array of American library music cues, most notably Quincy Jones' theme to Ironside) but also manages to create a compelling and dramatic sub-story about loyalty and honor. The result is a martial arts film that can be enjoyed by viewers who aren't fanatical about the genre and diehard kung fu heads alike. The widescreen DVD (which surpasses all previous VHS and DVD versions of the film) includes an interesting commentary track by Quentin Tarantino (who aided Dragon Dynasty in assembling its Shaw Brothers library) and critics Elvis Mitchell and David Chute, who discuss King Boxer's appeal and thematic similarities to Hollywood product; Chute is also featured with critic Andy Klein in one of three short supplements about the film's production and history, with director Jeong and martial arts choreographer Liu Chia-Liang taking center stage for the others. - Paul Gaita

- can't miss
with King Boxer and all the action and fighting that goes on throughout this movie. You won't want to miss a single moment of it and make sure if you have anyone that's kinda squeamish around violence and blood. They might want to skip this especially with a couple senses one involving someone losing a body part. I'll leave it at that. But i love the "Iron Fist" techinique that the hero learns in the movie and the cool effect/music whenever he activates it. It's lethal and leaves his misguided foes in a heap.

Great movie for its time and now as well. If your a fan of Bruce Lee movies or kungfu, karate then you need to check out King Boxer, it won't disappoint.

- Martial Arts Fan
To all you martial arts fans out there, this movie is not the greatest you'll ever see but it is a good one. You won't see people flying across roof tops or up into trees, but you will see some very interesting styles. The story line is great and the fighting scenes are well done.

brought that back,very cool,.
