Plot synopsis:
Upon the empire’s fall to invading conquistadors, the 16th-century Incas quickly concealed a sacred manual containing the secrets behind their deadly fighting technique. But after centuries of careful safeguarding, the manual is again at risk of falling into the wrong hands, leaving its guardian to battle the world’s greatest assassins to protect the secrets within…
Reviews:
“Director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza is able to create his ideal action movie with a unique set up and flashy aesthetics. Fist of the Condor is able to stand out due to its unique setting and development of a distinct mythology. The promise of what other secrets arts the Inca may have hidden is a perfect setup for a sequel…” 4 out of 5 stars, Loud and Clear
” …The Fist of the Condor is an entertaining film that makes the most of its small budget and small but talented and enthusiastic cast. If Karate Ghost was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to old school kung fu films, this is a more serious and respectful hommage.” 3.5 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
