Fists of Legend

Fists of Legend (2013) is a South Korean action drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kang Woo-suk. Three men who ruled their school with their fists end up competing on a live MMA reality broadcast — and what's hardest to fight turns out not to be the opponents.

Park Dok-gyu (Hwang Jung-min) spent his school years feared by everyone around him. That was then. Now he's short on money, his daughter's in trouble, and there's no obvious way out. The show called Fists of Legend offers a shot: live broadcast, a serious prize, and a crowd watching every round. His rivals each have their own reasons to be there.

At 153 minutes this is not a lean action film — Kang Woo-suk gives the stories outside the ring as much room as the bouts themselves. Hwang Jung-min carries it without effort. Stream Fists of Legend (2013) online on iFILM.
