This review is from: Karate: The Hand of Death (DVD)

This DVD was a find. This movie has been labeled as the first martial arts film ever made, which was filmed in the 1950s in Japan, no less. It has been so hard locating this gem of a film that I didn't think it was ever transferred into DVD format. Every so often I'll plug in a movie title to see if it exists in DVD and low and behold, this movie (Karate - Hand of Death) popped up. I immediately placed the order and was thrilled to receive this movie and add it to my library. Amazon does it again ...and it's the reason why I don't even go to the stores any longer. What for, when Amazon has everything and at great prices.
