When the Incan empire fell to invading conquistadors, the martial arts masters who practiced their Rumi Maki style hid a sacred manual containing the secrets behind their deadly fighting technique. But after centuries of careful safeguarding, the manual may fall into the wrong hands, leaving its rightful guardian to battle the world's greatest assassins to protect the ancient secrets within. The Fist of the Condor is a secret martial art that allows its fighters to defy gravity in battle. It has been passed down from generation to generation to the purest in heart, but now a set of twin brothers (both roles are played by Chilean martial artist Marko Zaror, who was Chidi in John Wick: Chapter 4) has been challenged to keep the book. Gemelo, one of the brothers, has run and now the other, Guerrero, must find him while fighting the greatest martial arts experts in the world, all of who want the book for themselves. Some have even been sent by Gemelo to kill his own brother. The battle between them seems like it's going to wait for another movie, as this ends with a battle between Guerrero and Kalari (Eyal Meyer), the student of his brother and a killer who murdered our hero's teacher Master Wook (Man Soo Yoon). Director and writer Ernesto Diaz Espinoza is someone to keep an eye on, as is Zaror. This movie was a complete blast from start to finish. It has a mystical feel like the best of Hong Kong martial arts movies but has a very distinct feel thanks to its Chilean origins. Highly recommended.
