I saw this movie fifty years ago on a Sunday afternoon in November of 1973 at the Uptown Theater in Chicago. It was part of a double feature, playing along with The Sacred Knives Of Vengeance. As a teenager, I was obsessed with kung fu movies. I later got into trouble when I returned home for having snuck off to the movies without telling my mother and missing family dinner. I saw the movie with two of my classmates, who would be killed in a freak car accident one year later in November of 1974, that was the last time I ever saw Michael Jimenez and Adrian. We were all thirteen years of age, just young lads. Its hard to believe that the two of them have been dead almost fifty years, both being deprived of the opportunity to grow into adults. I walked by the Uptown theater two weeks ago and I thought about that day nearly fifty years ago.
Wow... you're the FIRST person I have come across who mentioned "Sacred Knives Of Vengeance" I cant find that movie at all... The Fox Theater in Detroit was where we watched three movies every Saturday morning; I too, have great memories of my Brother and friends who were with me then, but have passed on... Part of the reason these films are still important to me is this is a way to still look back on those days and remember them...
A classic of the grindhouse era when kung-fu films were coming to theaters in the US. Saw this film at a drive in in Tulsa back in the late 70s .Thanks for sharing this film with such good audio + video quality.
Watched this early 70s in Samoa, cult status, found it on this forum and have watched it more than 10 times since two years ago....just watched it tonight..on of the best kung fu movies of all time
Film Mojego dzieciństwa, oglądałem go na video z kasety VHS. Serdeczne dzieki za wrzucenie go na RUclips, ma znakomitą jakoś obrazu,(to film z 1972 roku) jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem !! Znakomicie się to ogląda nie to co te dzisiejsze filmy karate z lat 2000 - nych, aktorstwo, a przede wysokim sceny walk na bardzo wysokim poziomie 👏 Bez wątpienia : Światowy Klasyk Filnów Karate, choć zapomniany.
I wonder if someone else has noticed how solid the plot of this movie was put together. Not one unnecessary scene, every character has a story and a personal reason for doing whatever they do. The journey of the hero years before Star Wars.
I saw it as a young boy at the theater. Seeing it on such wide screen, so young it was a great movie then. The impression was better than the reality. I have often thought of seans in this movie through the years.
This movie is very good ...now that I am checking it out again after around 50 years later. Good direction and very intriguing. I love these old films man!
@@alienmcqueen i liked the american sholin movie and most of the jackie chan kung fu movies even jet li has a bunch of good ones ...theres never a shortage of great martial art movies
@@mcflex8913 i remember seeing that one too ...i liked it ..anything in the martial arts is good from the 70s till the late 80s plus ant thing with jet li jackie chan and i really like a lot of the movies that donnie yen has done especialy the ip man movies
Those "many" havent seen the rest of the kung fu movies it seems... i love the plot, the story, freaking badass, but its missing one important thing, CHOREOGRAPHY & MARTIAL ARTISTS.... the kicking, punching technique, movements etc. of literally ALL these dudes were absolutely horrible, fighting this way was normal with b-movies & classic kung fu movies, but this is just even below that level, sooooo bad... fighting was so bad it made me wanna just quit the movie the first time i saw it (around 1989), i stayed until the end this time just to see if i maybe missed something because Q.Tarantino recently dubbed it as one of the best movies of all time, i am a huge kung fu movie buff, been watching them for 40 years and i have to strongly disagree with Q.Tarantino, this is not even one of the 30 best old school Kung Fu movies ive seen....
I'm sure it was considered "by many" to be the greatest kung fu movie of all time for about... a year lol Lo may be one amongst the legends but with Lee, Chan, Li and especially Liu coming out with legendary kung fu movies, now, this movie is not even top 20 of all time. I would say Top 50 tho..
Yeah, some of the low tier films that seem to get praise is baffling… Saying that though, some of the players/directors of the genre from that period also put out their fare share of stinkers! Horses for courses I guess.
It's definitely not better than One-Armed Swordsman. I would say it wasn't the best kung fu movie when it came out. And since 1972, lot of good kung fu films have come out. I wouldn't even hesitate to say, that "Murder of Murders"(Yu qing ting), with Chi Kuan Chun and Lo Lieh is better than this. So it's not even the best Lo Lieh movie.
I remember watching this as the under card to Enter the Dragon of Fist of Fury (long time ago) when you used to get 2 films for the price of one , this has turned out to be one of my best martial arts films of all time !
First time heard of this movie after seeing it's one of top Tarantino's favourite movies and after watching you see how much this movie had inspired Tarantino, the gore, music - all the kill bill.
saw this classic with Sacred Knives of Vengeance at the Cosmo movie theatre in East Harlem on 116 st and 3 Ave theatre was packed then again the Bronx at the Dover theatre again movie theatre was packed with people in 1974
One of the best Kung-fu movies ever. Watched it first time at a cinema. At the neighborhood we couldn't stop talking about it. It was called that time the Iron fist.
No maaa gracias por subirla, la tenía en formato Beta pero mi videocasetera ya no sirve. En cassette yo la tenía como "El rey del box chino" y recuerdo lo de la "técnica del puño de hierro" jajaja muy buena me encantaba desde niño
@@backsweet I Lived In The Bronx. And When I Said The Line Was Wrapped Around The Block, It Was A Long Block Too! Normally We Could Stay And Watch It Twice, But That Time We Had To Leave Afterwards! I'll Never Forget It! 👍
Agreed. This movie is a lot of fun. I love Bruce Lee films, but Shaw Brothers films had such crazy stuff going on, making them just as awesome in my opinion
I was 12 years old when I saw this movie in Brooklyn at the Regent Movie theater on Fulton Street and Bedford Ave, it was called 5 Fingers of Death. All of us put cherry Kool-Aid on our hands and the music in our minds, then started kicking each other's ass 😂😂
For the era and fighting style...this is very well written. Nice exposition...yer a bit brutal. Eye gouging was way ahead of its' time in 1972. The cinemas were packed on this showing of a classic kung fu movie. The father ambush was always very emotional for me...as a kid. Something about bullies...the 3 against one ratio,I guess. Plus that final confrontation was always special.....that dramatic music from some American TV series as I recall...pure magic.
La primera vez que la vi esta pelicula 5 dedos de justicia fué cuando yo era un niño de 10 años, mi hermano mayor trabajó de camarografo en un canal de TV era en ese tiempo un nuevo canal en Guatemala canal 13 en ese canal vimos la pelicula y mi cuñada muy emocionada de ver la pelicula, ademas siendo un nuevo canal pasaba en la noche solo buenas peliculas para hacerle la competencia a otros canales.
This is the one that started All i was going 2 See Another movie i could Not get in i saw it 2 Time. Thank you So much 4 Post It Good Times Back in the 70
I hadn't ever heard of this movie before tonight, but I was watching an interview earlier with the Wu-Tang Clan and I heard them mentioning it. Thanks to them I was lucky enough to see this for the first time tonight, and I'm putting it at the top of my list of favorite martial arts movies. Truly an awesome movie!
This was the "first martial arts movie" to hit it big in america! Kids would have mock fights outside the theater when the movie was over! Ahhh! Good times.🥋🥋🥋
I saw this film at the cinema back in 1972, when I was 16 that`s 48 years ago, is it really that far back ? It remains my number one Martial Arts film. The fighter with the sloping head is a favourite of mine.
Do you remember a king go film with David Chiang it was support to man at the top It was called Chinese connection but then so was Bruce Lee's fist of fury. Or big boss. This has been bugging me for years trying to find it. Thanks for reading.
I was with my elder authistic brother when we saw this for the first time. Thank to this movie he was able to return normal and fly over cities at will, but then the damn cancer took him away, I hope my father is watching over him from the sky where he lives with angels. It's hard to believe that only 93 years have passed, because it seems like eternity but also a few seconds. When my mother raped my second cousin we thought it was all lost but then we found ourselves watching this movie and everything kind of sort itself togheter, so thank you for the upload
My first martial arts show when it first came into new zealand was my number one show masive watching it again then a week after that enter the dragon bruce lee arrived in new zealand awesome movies i love martial arts movies
I saw this movie in 1979 canal 2 de Telemundo, WOW!!!! Cheng lang my Heroe😆 Remind me of BRUCE LEE! From the Chinese connection, his name in that movie was Cheng, love Hong Kong movies the all classic s!!! I recommend you to watch! Lady karate, with Angela mao going! Sincere Johnny
I LOVE this Film! I spent countless hours karate playing with my brothers. I also spent a lot of time sitting in the corner on punishment for kicking my brother in the jaw. Hey, he didn't block it or duck!!
I always loved this movie. But "You poked my eyes out.........." That always struck me as silly; the Three Stooges poked each others eyes out, these two gave each other one way tickets to Stevie Wonderland. When I first saw this in '90, I bugged all my friends about it for relentlessly. In response, on Easter of that year, one of them gave me a chocolate bunny with the eyes poked out of it.
I saw this movie in 1971 at Osan air base Korea, It cost 25 cents to see a movie. I sat in the theater and watched it about it 10 times, Now in 2024 I still love it!!!
The plot is decent, especially for the time this film was made. The choreography is below average. Overall, not bad at all. I don't think it's better than some of earlier Jimmy Wang Yu films, especially the One-Armed Swordsman.
I had the original fat covered VHS of this. Watched it to death, along with Shaolin Challenges Ninja. I believe they were both Warner releases in the UK.
That was the 1st Chinese movie i seen in Dublin in the carlton on O'Connell street, must be 50 year ago. Then came bruce lee Enter the Dragon. We couldn't get enough of thoes movies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This being the First Martial Arts movie shown in the U.S..! It Remains a Staple an a Breath of fresh Air because of it's Plot,Seriousness,Sound Effects and Viciousness that Today's Martial Arts movies REFUSE to Implement;eventhough the Fighting Skill Level is Below Average..!
That synth/snare combo the viewer hears when the Iron Fist is charging up is courtesy of Quincy Jones' "Ironside" (1971). This was also sampled by Cloud 9 in a track called "You Got Me Burnin" (1993). Now you know!
This is very strange to me. I grew up watching him as a villain, not the hero. He commands the role well but it's just weird. He's the 3rd place finisher in my rankings of kung-fu villains. Thanks for the upload. Looks like I'm probably gonna subscribe but I never do after just one video. I'll keep watching.
Strangely the best quality I can find of this was for free on RUclips

Remember watching this at the Cinema,time after time when it came out.. Couldn't get enough of King Boxer. One of the greatest films. Great memories.

I wonder if someone else has noticed how solid the plot of this movie was put together. Not one unnecessary scene, every character has a story and a personal reason for doing whatever they do. The journey of the hero years before Star Wars.
Ya
I saw it as a young boy at the theater. Seeing it on such wide screen, so young it was a great movie then. The impression was better than the reality. I have often thought of seans in this movie through the years.
I wish movies like these were still made
That's a fact
One of the best Kung Fu movies of all time haven't seen it in 40+yrs and still good
This movie is very good ...now that I am checking it out again after around 50 years later. Good direction and very intriguing. I love these old films man!

FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH!!! Definitely one of my most favorite KUNG-FU movies. Probably the reason why I’m in Martial Arts now. EPIC! :)
I remember watching this as the under card to Enter the Dragon of Fist of Fury (long time ago) when you used to get 2 films for the price of one , this has turned out to be one of my best martial arts films of all time !
This is truly a martial arts classic
Consider by many to be the Greatest kung Fu movie of all time and that's a fact
One of the greatest movies of all time.
Just like Enter the Dragon 🐉
Every Saturday they had kung fu features on television love them
The first Chinese movie black america ever saw!!!
I have watched this movie like a thousand times!
This movie and 'Chinese Boxer' are my all time favorites
This was one of my first kung fu movies I went to see with my stepfather and I was definitely hooked😊
That awesome! 😊👍.My mother told me about the movie when i was 14, we even watched it together and it's been my favorite martial arts film ever since.
It was the first martial arts movie to make it big in america. 1973!
Fantastic film ..great martial arts ..Lo Lei is indomitable..
First time heard of this movie after seeing it's one of top Tarantino's favourite movies and after watching you see how much this movie had inspired Tarantino, the gore, music - all the kill bill.
I was about to ask who else is here after finding out this movie made it to Tarantino's list
I watched this back in the early 80s I never realised it was on tarantinos top ten list
saw this classic with Sacred Knives of Vengeance at the Cosmo movie theatre in East Harlem on 116 st and 3 Ave theatre was packed then again the Bronx at the Dover theatre again movie theatre was packed with people in 1974
This is one of the movies that put Kung Fu movies on the map in the Western world
One of the best Kung-fu movies ever. Watched it first time at a cinema. At the neighborhood we couldn't stop talking about it. It was called that time the Iron fist.
The first run run shaw movie to come to Canada. This movie started the martial arts craze in the world, before Bruce Lee movies
Saw that in the early 70's.. Been looking for it for 5ish years. It was just about a great, as i remember it...
This movie is one level above everyone else in kung fu movies, and has inspired a ton of movies in Hollywood as well
No maaa gracias por subirla, la tenía en formato Beta pero mi videocasetera ya no sirve.
En cassette yo la tenía como "El rey del box chino" y recuerdo lo de la "técnica del puño de hierro" jajaja muy buena me encantaba desde niño
This Was The Very First Kung Fu Movie! I Remember When It First Came Out, The Lines At The Movie Theater Would Be Around The Block! 👍
I know the lines were long in Brooklyn, full of 12 and 13 year olds and the Marquee said...5 Fingers of Death
@@backsweet I Lived In The Bronx. And When I Said The Line Was Wrapped Around The Block, It Was A Long Block Too! Normally We Could Stay And Watch It Twice, But That Time We Had To Leave Afterwards! I'll Never Forget It! 👍
@@kevinballenger1211 I know back then they put us out because they wanted that money 😂. You could watch 3 movies and staying there all day!
This hands down is the best Lo Lieh film. This film is as good as Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury.

One thing about Chinese martial arts movies is that they are very brutal and there are always some very bizarre moments
Still a great movie thanks for the upload

At last a hi quality version of this classic online. Thanks so very much. Dave
Wondering why people upload in low resolution. Yeah, thanks.
I love how it’s crystal clear when he’s using the five fingers of death because you hear the synth siren.
From the tv show Ironside.
This is the one that started All i was going 2 See Another movie i could Not get in i saw it 2 Time. Thank you So much 4 Post It Good Times Back in the 70
Not me
Did you see David Chiang in Chinese connection, not Bruce Lee. It was a support film to man at the top
This one in my top five for all time
I agree with you 100, what about the 5 deadly venoms?

11:30 I love how he waits to make sure nobody else is going to step forward and tire the fighter out first
that fighter is bolo (from enter the dragon)
Watched this in72 still great
A most excellent expierience!
Saw this at my local cinema when it was released in the UK.
Baita filme! Assisti no cinema na adolescência!Thanks!
It's fun watching the movie that started it all in the US for Kung-Fu.
Here’s a little trivia for you. This is the film that inspired the Marvel character Iron Fist.
I always loved this movie. But "You poked my eyes out.........." That always struck me as silly; the Three Stooges poked each others eyes out, these two gave each other one way tickets to Stevie Wonderland. When I first saw this in '90, I bugged all my friends about it for relentlessly. In response, on Easter of that year, one of them gave me a chocolate bunny with the eyes poked out of it.
I saw this movie in 1971 at Osan air base Korea, It cost 25 cents to see a movie. I sat in the theater and watched it about it 10 times, Now in 2024 I still love it!!!
The plot is decent, especially for the time this film was made. The choreography is below average. Overall, not bad at all. I don't think it's better than some of earlier Jimmy Wang Yu films, especially the One-Armed Swordsman.
A very classic picture this it was one of my favourite from 1974 when I saw at the cinema ! Thank you was a good remember for me. Daniel
Thank you very much for read and response me friend ! Daniel.
My first kung fu movie before the big boss This is a great movie great story One of the best
Loh Lieh excellent artistry and good martial arts film ample emotions drama classic kungfu
I had the original fat covered VHS of this. Watched it to death, along with Shaolin Challenges Ninja. I believe they were both Warner releases in the UK.
That was the 1st Chinese movie i seen in Dublin in the carlton on O'Connell street, must be 50 year ago. Then came bruce lee Enter the Dragon. We couldn't get enough of thoes movies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
As you can see on this part of this movie telling if you betrayed your own family and this is the lesson you get.
1972 a great year for 8track tapes and Kung fu movies
Most of the classic kung fu movies cme out in early to mid 70s. I am so glad I was in HighSchool.
Bolo as the street fighter.
I love how Yin Yin leaves it until the best moment possible to give him the bad news 01:29:48

The best martial movie ❤❤
I'm quite capable... of handling that bunch of thugs!
:)
Thank you for upload because is my favourite ❤😮😅😅😊! Like Germán saluditos Uruguay
This is my favorite movie in martial arts
Oh yeah I remember going to the movies for this one FIVE FINGERS OF DEATH ,,
This being the First Martial Arts movie shown in the U.S..! It Remains a Staple an a Breath of fresh Air because of it's Plot,Seriousness,Sound Effects and Viciousness that Today's Martial Arts movies REFUSE to Implement;eventhough the Fighting Skill Level is Below Average..!

Grew up watching these kung fu movies.
Everyone thought they knew kung fu after watching them.
Bruce lee was alive back then ..
This is very strange to me. I grew up watching him as a villain, not the hero. He commands the role well but it's just weird. He's the 3rd place finisher in my rankings of kung-fu villains. Thanks for the upload. Looks like I'm probably gonna subscribe but I never do after just one video. I'll keep watching.
They never came out with the sequel; The Six Fingers of Death.
With a chinese mutant fighter
Watched all the martial arts movies 70’s Ramova Bridgeport Chicago awesome. One arm boxer another good one 😊
I saw this movie in Montreal Canada When I was a kid? Field trip from Washington DC, French class!
I remember going to the Movie Theater when this movie was first released, on a Saturday afternoon.
Uno de los clásicos de las artes marciales 👍
Alguien sabe donde la puedo ver subtitulada o traducida en español? Por favor
I remember in my country, the movie was named *The Iron Boxer* & no wonder is very difficult for me to search after all this time.
Un classique, film qui est devenu culte, que j'ai vu, au cinéma aux Antilles au Marigot, le dimanche, après la messe...Toute une époque...
Vi está película hace años y quisiera volver a verla pero en español
love these old Chinese movie saw all in the movies in the 1970 ,
Hmm the moves are kind of realistic are they? Lots of evading, snap kicks and some sweeping.
