Hand of Death

(1976)Directed by John Woo97 min · RAction
“The hand of death strikes in 18 mysterious ways!”

Yung Fei (Dorian Tan Tao-Liang) is a young Shaolin monk with a single job, which is to stand against a warlord whose Extended Iron Claw technique has been used to break the temple's defenders. Commander Shih (James Tien Chun) and a rough-edged Little Tan (Jackie Chan) are drawn into the fight beside him. John Woo, in his first feature as director, gives Sammo Hung the stunt coordination and leaves Yung Fei carrying the weight of a school that is down to him.
