fists of legend 2013

On a television show billed as “the
greatest fight show on Earth,” eager
amateurs with lots to prove boldly
step into the ring and expect to leave
bloody but victorious. The ratings
hungry producers seek out “legendary”
but largely forgotten streetfighters
and mine their desperation for
recaptured glory and redemption into
ratings gold. Three old friends and
rivals from high school days who get
their invitation to the big fight for
the chance to win $200,000 and much
more. 25 years later – Deok-kyu, whose
Olympic dreams were dashed, now runs a
struggling noodle shop. Jae-seok who
always wanted to be number one but
still finds himself in a third-rate
gang. And Sang-hoon, a thug turned
corporate executive who must go back
and find his bloodlust one last time.
