King Boxer (Five Fingers Of Death)

From Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers, the founding fathers of kung fu film, comes the groundbreaking cult movie King Boxer (Five Fingers Of Death). Required viewing for cinephiles and martial arts fans alike, King Boxer took world audiences by storm with the tale of a young martial artist who battles his way into a national tournament in the name of love, honour and revenge. His journey from young fighter in training to master of the Iron Fist delves deep into mythic kung fu lore and is laced with explosive action and dazzling fight sequences. Amazing special features included extremely rare film commentary by Quentin Tarantino.

As well as the Quentin Tarantino commentary also included are: Interview with filmmaker Chang-Hwa Jeong, Interviews and commentaries with film scholars David Chute and Elvis Mitchell, Interview with action director Lau Kar Wing, Stills gallery, Trailer gallery and Commentator biographies

Directed by Chang Chang Ho, Five Fingers Of Death stars the legendary Lo Lieh and  Wang Ping. This edition will be released on 23rd February 2009.

Basically a region 2 release of the US Dragon Dynasty disc which is being put out through Momentum Pictures. Interestingly Momentum had a crack at releasing films from the remastered Shaw Brothers collection in 2005 under their Momentum Asia banner, but quickly pulled the series after the initial releases failed to shift enough units. Which was a shame because they had some great title amongst those which did get a release was Chu Yuan's Death Duel, which is one of my favorite movies of all time and one I recommend seeking out.
