Let’s start the summer with a Condor’s Fist. Celebrating the beginning of the summer with the Chilean movie Fist of The Condor, finally a pure south America martial art movie!
Chile and martial arts movie
It is with this strange weather that this year I found the perfect martial art movie to start the summer with. Chile is known for its peculiar geography that creates huge climate changes between the country. A true challenge for the inhabitants of this beautiful state and the perfect training environment for the protagonist of the movie Fist of The Condor.
The director and screenwriter Ernesto Diaz Espinoza and the martial artist Marko Zaror are coming back together once again promoting the Chilean martial art movie industry. Fist of the Condor is their third collaboration, after Kiltro and Redeemer. This time the plot is all about martial arts: a man, who is determinate to learn the ancient fighting style of the condor, surpassing the limitation of the human body and becoming an animal.
Creating an imitative style
Marko Zaror is the protagonist of Fist of The Condor, already the most important Chilean martial artist of the movie industry, he is also producer. Zaror is a good friend of Scott Adkins, with which starred in Undisputed III: Redemption, Savage Dog and John Wick: Chapter 4. This Taekwondo and Kickboxer champion, in order to give more credibility to the Fist of The Condor movie, achieved to recreate an astonishing imitative style, here is the result:
The kalarippayattu of Eyal Meyer as Kalari gives to the movie a remarkable addition, legitimating even more the imitative style of the Condor.
