I will not talk about the movie summary since it has been covered by other reviewers.
I want to explain to people who criticized the fighting scenes to be too short and boring. Some ignorant audience also compared Fighter in the Wind to Jet Li or Jackie Chan attractive choreographed scenes. If you read up about Masutatsu Oyama, founder of Kyokushin Karate, you will know that most of his fights ended in less than 3 minutes (in real life). The first and finishing blow is usually his single punch or single roundhouse kick. Thus Fighter in the Wind is only reflecting the truth of Mas Oyama's fighting powers. He was nicknamed 'Godhand' because of his deadly single moves.
Movie trivia #1: Most of us would have heard of Street Fighter by Capcom. Do you know who is Ryu? The style and appearance of Ryu was actually inspired from Mas Oyama. We all know that the infamous enemy of Ryu was Sagat. Sagat was inspired from a famous Thai kickboxer who once challenged Mas Oyama. It was a good long fight and Oyama won the fight with heavy injuries.
Movie trivia #2: Over many years, Mas Oyama has won XXX times and lost only 1 match. I believe he lost to a 80 year old Taiji master from Hong Kong.
Justice without strength is empty, but strength without justice is violence.
Mao points: 8/10
