Synopsis

Kim Dong-soo is trying to escape with a list of compatriots who support independence, but is ambushed by a Japanese Sabroo, which takes away the theater and cuts off his son Eung-beom's three fingers. Eung-beom hones his orthodox martial arts with the help of Master Baegun. And he creates a new martial art unique to Chil Ji-soo and grows into a terrifying, high-skilled martial artist. Eung-beom, who has been taught his martial arts, descends in search of his homeland and his father's enemies. Eung-beom goes through all sorts of trials to punish Sabroo, a vicious Japanese. Meanwhile, he meets Kyung-ae, a Korean woman who works as Sabro-oh's henchman. In a confrontation to eliminate Sabro-Oh's subordinates one by one, when Eung-beom is put in jeopardy due to a cunning scheme, her Kyung-ae provides dramatic help. Eungbeom escapes from crisis and becomes angry and punishes his parents and enemies of the nation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
