YesAsia Editorial Description

Based on the true-life story of Choi Bae-Dal - also known to many as Oyama Masutastsu - Fighter in the Wind offers a Korean take on the life of the karate master. Director Yang Yun-ho (Libera Me draws on ideas from Bang Hakki's famous comic strip to depict how Choi overcame obstacles of being a Korean in Japan to become a legendary karate master. Star Yang Dong-geun went through immense physical torture to get his body in top shape in order to play Choi, and the result of all his hard work is clearly apparent on screen.

Choi Bae-dal was a farm boy who decided to go to Japan and become a fighter pilot during World War II. However, he was denied and ended up on the streets after the war. It is there that he gets into trouble with the yakuza and learns to become tough on the streets with the help of his friend Bum Soo. When Bum Soo is killed by the yakuza, Bae Dal retreats into the mountains and concentrate on the art of karate in order to become the best fighter in Japan.

Product Information


대한민국 전체가 암흑이던 때 세상은 세 부류였다. 일본인, 일본이 기르는 개, 개만도 못한 조센진
한국인이 일본인을 위한 종처럼 여겨지던 일제시대, 소년 최배달은 머슴 범수를 통해 택견을 배우며 강한 파이터의 꿈을 키운다. 그러나 독립운동에 연류된 범수가 자취를 감추고 스승을 잃은 배달은 비행사가 되기 위해 일본으로 밀항하기에 이른다. 하지만 항공학교에서 그를 기다리는 것은 상상을 넘어선 차별뿐인데,,,
조센진이라는 차별에 대한 분노로 교관을 때려눕히는 배달. 그러나 맨 손의 그에게 사무라이의 후예인 가토대위가 살기어린 진검을 겨누고 배달은 칼날에 등을 보인 채 도주하고 만다. 방황하던 그에게 어린시절 정신적 스승 범수와의 기적 같은 만남은 자신의 모습을 찾기 위한 전환점이 되어주지만 야쿠자에 의해 살해당한 그의 주검 앞에, 자신의 무능 앞에, 다시 한번 부서지고 만다. 힘없는 정의도 무능이요, 정의 없는 힘도 무능임을 깨달은 그는 입산수련을 결심한다. 문명과 담을 쌓은 혹독한 수련! 처절하리만큼 외로운 자신과의 싸움! 인간의 한계를 넘어서는 그 모든 고통을 견뎌내며 그는 시대를 향한 도전을 준비하게 되는데...

Interesting insight Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This movie was definently an interesting watch, while it took a little bit to get into groove of things it was a great watch. While it isn't completely accurate (have you ever seen a movie about a real person ever acurate?) it does show a lot of aspects of what life was like for Korean's living in Japan in that era.

The movie kept true to the type of living they had living amungst each other. The animosity towards each other, this is certainly a very important part of the movie. If this was not portried right it would not seem right.

While there are so many serious issues in this movie it does seem to keep light hearted in some of the fight scenes which keep things rather pleasent.

I think its a wonderful tribute to such a great person (even if he would possibly not consider himself on)...A very enjoyable watch, a must see!

 bad bad bad, in a bad way Customer Review Rated Bad 0 - 0 out of 10
acting, storyline, directing, basically everything was terrible about this movie. Based on a true story but nothing is accurate at all. This shows a lot of racisim towards japanese, making the koreans the good guys and the japanese the evil people. Few of the fight scenes were ok but everything else was bad

 POWERFULL PICTURE Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I became an asian movie lover about a year ago and this movie proves once again that the korean stuff is some of the best. I don't know anything about the real character this is about but the action scenes blew me away and gave me some severe adrenaline rushes each time I have seen it (about 5 times so far). I have been a manic movie buff in general for years and seen thousands of movies, some foreign, but the asian stuff is awesome - don't just see this movie - OWN IT!!!!
