Fighter in the Wind (Blu-ray) plain edition

In post-war Japan, a young Korean man’s dreams of becoming a fighter pilot are shattered — but what emerges from the wreckage is something far more formidable. Based on the remarkable true story of Choi Bae-dal (Yang Dong-geun), who would become one of the twentieth century’s most legendary martial artists under the name Masutatsu Oyama, FIGHTER IN THE WIND is an electrifying mix of biography, action spectacle, and period drama.

Arriving in Japan with nothing, Choi Bae-dal survives on the margins of a hostile, defeated nation, finding purpose and discipline through karate. Fighting his way through an underground world of street brawlers, yakuza, and professional fighters — driven by a relentless hunger for honour and survival — he forges the iron will and technique that will make him a living legend.

Directed with kinetic flair by Yang Yun-ho and anchored by a commanding star-making performance from Yang Dong-geun, FIGHTER IN THE WIND is one of South Korean cinema’s most muscular and crowd-pleasing productions: a deeply satisfying underdog story told with real physical conviction.

This Nova Media plain edition Blu-ray presents the film in 1080p full HD with Korean and Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and English subtitles.
