Chang-hwa Jeong

Director

Chang-hwa Jeong is a South Korean film director known for directing the martial-arts film Five Fingers of Death (also known as King Boxer / Cinque Dita Di Violenza).

Director of the film Five Fingers of Death (released internationally as Five Fingers of Death / King Boxer), a title credited with helping popularize kung-fu cinema in the West.

A nostalgic, analytical take on Chang-hwa Jeong's Cinque Dita Di Violenza (Five Fingers of Death). The review highlights the film's role in popularizing kung-fu cinema in the West and its influence on later filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino. It praises characterisation, fight choreography and period charm despite imperfect dubbing. Overall a positive reassessment of a B-movie classic.

For:Fans of classic martial-arts films, cult cinema readers, Tarantino/Kill Bill enthusiasts

 During the same period when Bruce Lee was causing a stir, terrifying the globe with his scream, kung-fu-mania boasted another title that helped popularize the genre in the West (including Italy): "Five Fingers of Death".
