When Five Fingers of Death opened in a Times Square movie theater on March 21, 1973, only a handful of Americans knew the difference between an Iron Fist and an Eagle’s Claw. Within weeks, that had changed forever.
Kung fu movies unleashed a carnival of carnage on the American box office, influenced the birth of hip hop, and introduced America to some of the biggest non-white stars to hit Hollywood’s silver screen. Now, for the first time, their true story can be told. This lavishly illustrated book tells the insanity-inducing true story of how a bunch of scrappy, bare knuckled movies came to America and raised Hell for 15 years.
