‘Fist of the Condor’
Marko Zaror plays twin brothers who become enemies in “Fist of the Condor.”Well Go USA Entertainment
In this film by the Chilean writer-director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, twin brothers (both played by Marko Zaror) arrive at the temple of a martial arts master to study an ancient fighting style (in the film’s lore, one created by the Inca to fight the Spanish). They promise each other that if they can’t both join the school, the one who is accepted will teach the other. When one brother is turned away, however, he abandons the plan, murdering the temple’s teacher and absconding with the book holding the secrets of the style.
The innocent brother, credited simply as the Warrior, goes into hiding after his nefarious sibling begins fielding assassins to murder him. To avenge his teacher and save his own life, the Warrior decides to finally confront his past.
“Fist of the Condor” is a throwback to 1970s martial arts films like “The 36th Chamber of Shaolin,” which render men of few words with arresting charisma and awe-inspiring fighting ability. The final fight, set in a dusty ruin, features physics-defying flights through the air that feel rugged but dizzyingly weightless.
