- An earlier film of Lo Lieh using The Iron Palm technique to devastate his opponent! A Shaw Brothers classic!
King Boxer - (1972)
This is one of the best Kung Fu movie that Lo lieh is the lead star.
He usually played Bad Guys in most Kung Fu films.
Nobody does the kung-fu movies like the Shaw Brothers. I love kung-fu movies.
That siren sound effect comes from second season theme from Ironside by Quincy Jones, that Kill Bill and this movie borrows from.
Thank you, I was wondering where I had heard it. 😂
4:07 one punch man. I wish that would ended the fight with his body exploded then his head.
Thanks. I thought that it was originally part of this kung fu movie
😂😂😂😂👍
1972...Pontiac Michigan,..the State theater....THIS was the start of the kung fu craze..back in the day. Eye gouging...betrayal...great fight techniques. This was the holy grail of my Shaw Bros fetish. Brings back fond memories and total excitment....Kudos!!....Also, nothing like the "Ironside" theme mix....so Iconic.
That red glow effect on his hands is simple but superb
This was the first Kung fu movie me & my brother first saw back in 1972. And all the way home from the cinema we Kung fu’d each other, pretending we could actually do the iron palm technique. Ha ha. Oh to be young again. 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Five Finger of Death is considered by many to be the Greatest kung movie of all time and that's a fact jack
Yup yup
He's got the Glow.
damn I miss them days having my wall filled with Kung fu vhs's!
Yup. The first Kung Fu movie in America....1973 or 1974. I remember seeing it in the theater and thinking that it was all real. The "techniques", the leaps, the sound effects. Yup, I thought it was all real.
This was the film that opened the doors to Kung Fu films in America! In 1972 I watched it under the title The Invincible Boxer. I was 12 and my mind was blown away by this exotic film.
I HEARD THE SAME THING BY GENE SISKEL AND ROGER EBERT THEY REVIEWED THE MOVIE I SAW AT THE DRIVE-IN FIRST KUNG FU MOVIE TO COME TO AMERICA GOOD STUFF
Está si es la película de 5 finguer of theath
Lo Lieh is best remembered in the 1980s,where he directed and starred in the 1980 film Clan of the White Lotus, along with Gordon Liu.
Sorry but thats not the movie hes best remembered for..Lo lieh is Shaw brothers Greatest villian of all time..executioners of Death. Spawned the white lotus movie which isnt as good..
Mad monkey kung fu..shaolin handlock.all movies that show Lo liehs diverse martial and acting skills.
This movie ( Five Fingers Of Death) is a classic.
so that weird warning sound effect it came from this movie?
It's really from the Opening of Iron Side, A TV Show Starring Raymond Burr.
One of the few Kung Fu movies I have on DVD. Always enjoyable.
the first kung fu film to be released in america. a damn good movie but i still think enter the dragon made more of an impact in the states!
One of the first to be released..FIST OF FURY AKA BIG BOSS CAME OUT THE SAME DAY..
@@cleavegrier4890 Big Boss is the first Kung fu film that is released around the world.
@@cleavegrier4890 No
I'm pretty sure the Shaw Brothers had movies all around New York, before Bruce Lee was ever thought of
I lived in San Francisco on Russian hill. I would walk down the hill to Chinatown and see Kung Fu movies in one of the Chinese theaters. I was usually the only non-Chinese guy in the theater. I was doing this before before this movie came out. It was my favorite until Fist of Fury was released. After that I could see Kung Fu in regular theaters.
He had the glow
RIP Sir Run Run Shaw who passed away yesterday aged 107 (wow). He produced this movie and arguably did more than anyone on the planet to popularize Asian martial arts.
Yes Sir Run Run Shaw and Runme Shaw
Bruce Lee did more to popularize Asian martial arts.
@@priestpega simply not true. Also this movie as well as other shaw brothers movies were far before Bruce Lee. Respect to him though.
I've watched this movie over and over and enjoyed it each time.
Originally when I worked in N.Y., I saw this movie 5 times on 42nd St. in N.Y.C.
@@cpl.linkis9623 Yup I enjoyed this movie back then .I did the same , watched it over and over again
Sho nuff glowing red hands
I would love to see Sho nuff on Tekken 7
I quite agree with you. This was the film that started it all. It was the first film in UK. I saw it many times. It is the best film. Acting, stunts, story and especially the camera, fantastic footage. The scene the bar where he fights head butter, has to to the best martial arts clip ever.
saal2k7 ..And it was dark. Kinda sinister,if you know what I mean🤨
i read somewhere this was the first old school kung fu movie to be shown nationally in the U.S. theaters
It was. It became a monster hit and opened the floodgate of hundreds of kung fu films. Some were good, most were really very bad.
This is the first movie I saw Lo Lieh star ,it was a big hit till Bruce Lee came
This was the baddest in that time era. this started the kung fu craze back in the day. love it.
Correct. This was the first movie to start the Martial Arts craze in the United States
But the movie that started it all was Come Drink With Me from King Hu
@@TheDreamtheaterlover Not Wong Fei Hung Series?
From what i remember growing up 5 Fingers of Death was the movie that started it all in the US. It's a top 3 Kung fu flick in my book.!
Remember going to see this back in 1973 on a recommendation from a friend. The title was King Boxer and I thought that it was a western type ring boxing film, imagine my surprise when it opened with a group of people walking through an old Chinese town followed by a Kung fu street fight. I had never seen anything like it, but enjoyed it hugely.
The Power Up Theme You want Is The Opening To Ironside TV Theme Witch had an Episode with Bruce Lee In,
I remember seeing this movie at the Duchess Theatre on Chestnut Street in Philly. It was part of a crazy double feature along with Clint Eastwood's 'High Plains Drifter' (some combo!) This was the first kung fu movie I ever saw and many martial arts movies, anime, etc. have paid homage to and taken bits and pieces from this milestone epic!
I remember this movie ,this was the flick that started the kung- fu craze in America way back when l was a kid in the 70's.
Five Fingers of Death a kung Fu classic
Most early 70s kungfu films werent very good compared to those of Bruce lee films in those days.But this is a dam good movie.Especially before the days of the Bruceploitation films which were disgraceful.Kungfu films like these were few and far between.It took at least 4 years(after his death) to get over Bruce and start making real kungfu films again.Thank god for Shaw brothers.
a true martial arts classic!..
This is so different from most old king fu movies. Most, have a thousand strikes and a thousand blocks. In this, they either miss, or connect with their strikes. And when he gets knocked back into that wall! That is cool.
Your first description is the "shapes" era of KF movies, the late 70s and later. Jackie Chan, Sammo, Gordon Liu, the Venoms, etc etc.
This is from the earlier "basher" era that had less complex choreography and more focus on hard hitting violence. The One Armed Boxer, The Chinese Boxer, some Bruce Lee stuff and others are similar.
This is still my favorite martial art movie of all time.
one of the best kung fu movies i had ever seen till date .
I know that Lo Lieh made his name as a bad guy, but he was amazing in the few good guy roles too.
I paid to see this movie in NY city five times :)
Sad, I just found out Lo Lieh is dead :(
Don't fuck with the iron fist!
Finest iron palm technique I've ever seen.
Really never seen Brave Archer series??Fu sheng and Lo mang show the true Iron palm form in these movies.
The audio that is the motif for the red handed fist technique that Tarantino references in Kill Bill, is actually originally from the theme tune of an American cop series called Ironside, starring Raymond Burr (better known for Perry Mason) as a wheelchair bound police detective - and it was funny to hear it in King Boxer in the 70s - now with Kill Bill it is forever a martial arts reference
Quincy Jones composed that Ironside theme. He was a musical genius.
Coincidentally Bruce Lee Guest Starred on an Episode of Ironside once.
Five Fingers of Death one of my favorite movies 😎
Gerardo BarajasFirst Martial Arts movie I ever saw.
The best ever
@@wilbertelliottnot working
A classic.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
When the late Lo lieh was a power House in Shaw brother's studios, very good movie to watch, best. Plot
5 Fingers: Nuff Said !!! 😎
The role of Cha Ji Hao was meant to be played by Bruce Lee. But veteran Shaw Villain actor of Lo Lieh did a very good job as the lead.
Saw this at a drive in with my Dad back in the 70's, fell in love with martial arts.
i was 13 when i saw this movie in brooklyn on fulton st. This was the start of kun fu movies in America. I always called it 5 fingers of death, never heard the title kick boxer
In fact the the real title is KING BOXER not kick boxer, anyway it's better five finger of death.
Is that right? wow...King boxer lol, you live and you learn lol thanks
Darnell Branch I know this is a old post, but did you happen to see this movie at the Regent movie theater near Bedford ave?
Derek Harris i saw it at the Banco down the street from the Regent on the right going toward Nostrand ave....but i went to the Regent many times and saw 3 movies lol.
Lol !!! I remember the Banco. I never went there, but i remember the last movie that i saw advertised there was Dr black and Mister Hyde. I lived on Fulton and Saratoga ave in those days. We moved to Flatbush in 77.
He had The Glow! It was the evil red glow but still. Leroy's teacher when he was young.
This was the best kung fu movie in the 70s the most “serious” and realistic (for a movie) this and heroes of the east are the best
I always loved the Chinese vs Japanese style in this movie. Amongst many other things. Truly groundbreaking.
Really? Have you heard a movie call Heroes of the East? This movie It starred Gordon Liu and was directed by Lau Kar-Leung.
Gordon have fight with different japanese style like Kenjutsu, Judo, Karate, Ninjutsu, etc. A very interesting movie.
You got to hand it to the Japanese guy he was a pretty good fighter.
I believe this is the movie that started the whole Kung Fu cinema craze. The people that saw it in the movie houses in the 70's distinctly remember it as dubbed at the time. When I used to go to 42nd st., NYC in the 80's, all the martial arts flicks were already dubbed. I don't remember ever seeing a subtitled martial arts movie over there and I probably saw about 200 movies.
This is 1 of d great classic
Did they use substandard building materials?
did he honetsly break a katana sword with his hand??haha
Another film Tarantino "paid homage" to......jeez, it's like all his films are piecemealed from all the films he ever watched.
Shaw Brothers made the best kung fu movies ever
Thank You
Every Saturday afternoon my neighborhood movie theater in the Bronx, NY was packed with kids ages 8 - 18 watching three more karate movies from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest!!! We were addicted to these movies and could not see enough of them!!!! Bruce Lee was not in them but that was ok because we liked all the other Asian Martial Artists too!!! However, Angela Mao Ying was our favorite star right after Bruce Lee!!!
I wonder if the kids in Hong Kong were as excited as we were to go watch these movies back in tha day..clownin & throwin popcorn 🍿 😂
As well as, of course, Super Infra Man, quite possibly the most berserk action movie ever. Produced by Rumne.
@@thegrandcanyonisegypt2489 You bet we did. Except that we threw dumplings instead. (^_^)
Years ago this was my first martial arts movie i love this movie my favorite chinese actor Lo Lieh beautiful i miss these shows i just saw it Run Run Shaw has passed away r.i.p Run Run Shaw your name will never be forgotten your a legend X D.Ngauma
One of the best Kung Fu movie of all time. Wants to believe lo lieh greatest masterpiece the action sequences superb love it Saw it under the title invincible boxer
Shaw Brothers made the best, no doubt. Imagine in the early 70's when these bombarted theatres. Genuine Karate Schools
enrollment declined because students were at theatres. Now we would be smarter to give theaters coupons to our classes.
The movies still entertain, but to get them produced and arriving for viewers so fast wa$ amazing.
Lo Lieh is much better off as a villain. It was still good to see him playing a hero role in Five Fingers of Death, but his Pei Mei character and among other films always stood out more for him because how great he played a villain role. He really was a great actor.
You are right...he might be the best villain with his great karate style in "The Chinese Boxer,Hammer of God" (1970) as "Kitama".
I watched this movie years ago when I was in primary school. During the school holidays I’d always go the video store and I noticed this movie. The most frightening part of this movie for me at the time was when one guy got both his eyes plucked out.
Man, I was 11 yrs old when I first saw this film! Sweet memories!
Loved this movie as a kid. My dad too. Miss him.
Great movie
This was the film that started the kung fu craze in UK, Bruce lee wasn't even heard in the early seventies, its only when he passed away here in England his films came in October 1973.
He hit him so hard and fast the sound of him, hitting him was late to it's pwn party!
Damn your profile pic👀👀👀
Wow, I remember watching this at the movies when I was in high school; thank you for sharing.
I wouldn't say BEST EVER but certainly a great scene
The Japanese dude was really tough.
Yes. MIGHT survive one shot into a wall. Two? Nope. Unlike today's Marvel there is very little that can hurt them.
Classic kung fu movie with attitude
This is the very first martial arts movie I ever saw. 😀
It was on the giant screens before they shrunk them down.
This was one of the first kung fu movies from back in the day along with the Wang yu movies
Music and the sound effects are great!
Saw this on 42nd Street NYC with my Dad. RIP Pops.
Your comment sounds like its labeling Quentin Taratino as a thief. He has said it himself that Kill Bill is a tribute to several movies in the past. It's kinda like bringing the old stuff back to the modern age instead of leaving them to be forgotten.
If only someone did the same to horror movies so we can have a decent scary movie for once.
I had only seen Lieh Lo as an awesome baddie in SB films when this popped up on Amazon Prime. Lieh Lo was a true Renaissance man. And, per Lau Kar Wing, highly intelligent and knew how to capture the full essence of his characters. King Boxer/5 Fingers of Death proves it. Lieh Lo kicks ass. Adore this man. Thanks for posting this. Now, I have to go rewatch this. :)
Lo Lieh is the master of all.
This flick just took me back to my childhood ☺
This movie bolstered martial arts schools in America!
best movie ever!!! saw this at the show and WOW!!!
Okada! the baddest of the bad! Great Villain! Up there with the Kung Fu Beast from The Chinese Professionals !
Those walls needs thorough inspections
Lo Leigh is the best !.... I can watch him All day !
Ok damn man I just like his villiany more
baddest fight scene is from executioners from shaolin the priest bai me vs hung se quan
Shaw brothers is the king of martial films and has the best characters shaw makes.
This was released in the uk before any of the Bruce Lee films. And i saw it on a double bill with the film Superfly would you believe. Very atmospheric and if you watch the film Bolo from enter the dragon has a small part as a street fighter.
The very first Gung Fu Movie!!!
The Japanese without swords are lame...
How is it fair to fight barehanded with some dude with a sword?
love this movie but a cliche bad guy being japaneses, yet karate is very strict on certain formalities yet wu shu just is too, meaning a slap fight in these days of kung fu is permisable, shotokahn strike to the face is a big no. preserve the art yes! But to progress it is NOOO!!!!. Violence is sad and drastic no argue, but to a point of equality of all let's evolve now!
niiice so that's where tarantino got it
@OrigamiPaper it might not be propaganda but look whos making the movie though also the sword went though something then he broke it i saw that in another movie too and some one said in the comments that The Katana is not that flexible So it could be broken but it is just a movie so it could just be a written plot that the charter advances and the other does not so he has to lose some type of way
He used The Glow.
Lo Lieh was the BEST!!!
Got my copy yesterday fbank thank you lord Jesus amen 🙏
Correction King boxer.
So this is the scene that inspired Shining Finger. Amazing.
La vi en Santiago de Chile en 1972 súper

Right on my friend, I was on The DUCE back when it was The Duce, with all the Chop Saki flicks. May those were some good days, Funland, and Rising Sun martial Arts store on the Duce. Peace onto you
