The Fists, the Kicks and the Evils

About This Movie

So, 'The Fists, the Kicks and the Evils' is this 1979 gem from Hong Kong that dives deep into the revenge genre. The young warrior's quest to avenge his master is steeped in familiar themes of honor and betrayal, but the pacing keeps you hooked with its energetic fight choreography. You get that gritty, raw atmosphere typical of the era, where practical effects and stunts shine without the gloss of modern CGI. Performances are earnest, and while the director's name isn’t exactly a household one, the film's unique blend of action and drama speaks volumes. It's one of those titles that, if you're into the kung fu craze of the late '70s, definitely leaves an impression.

This film has seen limited release over the years, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. It was first available on VHS, and later on DVD, but those editions are now increasingly hard to find. Interest among collectors has grown, especially for those who appreciate the gritty style of late '70s kung fu cinema, so if you stumble upon a copy, it’s worth grabbing.
