For the Motherland
1982, Korean. Directed by Nam Ki-nam.
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.
