The Toughest Man in the World" is the title given to Choi Bae Dal, a real life martial artist who fought 47 bulls and defeated every martial arts and karate expert in Japan in the mid 1940's. Fighter in the Wind is adapted and based largely on the infamous manga series by Bang Hak Ki and tells the story of the legendary fighter who found the "Kyokushin Karate" form of martial arts.
While Fighter in the Wind may move a little slow at first (primarily because it is based on a true story), the film kicks into full gear once Bae Dal perfects his fighting prowess and starts to kick major butt. The formless training of Kyokushin Karate is used to take on every single form of Japanese martial arts, including karate, judo, aikido, hapkido, and even bushido sword training. The fight choreography by Jeong Du Hong (Arahan, No Blood No Tears) is impressive as usual and ultimately saves Fighter in the Wind from being another dull biographical outlook on one of the greatest martial artists that ever lived.
