Fingers That Kill

About This Movie

Fingers That Kill is one of those curious gems from the 70s. Directed by Hui Gwok, it has a gritty atmosphere that pulls you into its rough world. The pacing isn’t exactly what you'd call quick, but it has a certain draw with Lung’s search for Yien. The fight sequences are quite raw and feature a mix of practical effects that give it an authentic feel. The performances, especially from the leads, add a nice depth to the otherwise straightforward revenge narrative. There's a palpable sense of desperation and determination that runs through the film, making it stand out in the action-adventure genre of its time. Definitely a watch for those who appreciate the era's martial arts vibe.
