Hi everybody.
I know that tis is the wrong forum and I posted this question on the Martial Media and Popular Culture earlier.
I didn´t get any answer on that board so I hope I have better luck here with this repost.
When I was but a young lad, way back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth I saw a Kung Fu-flick on video. Back then I thought it was great, but I forgot all about it in time. A couple of months ago me and some friends were talking about movies we´d liked when we were younger and I suddenly remembered this one.
The only problem is that I can´t for the life of me remember the title of the bloody thing.
My recollections of the plot are somewhat hazy, but as I recall the hero was learning Kung-Fu to avenge something or another. The bad guy was a master of the "deadly finger styles" so the hero searched out masters who could teach him the various styles (index-finger style, ring-finger style and so on). However he is unable to beat the "Evil One" until he learns the deadly "thumb-style" which he uses to dispatch the aforementioned enemy. The movie ends rather gorily with the hero poking out the "Evil One´s" right eye and then shoving his thumb into his heart.
This was an old-school movie from the late seventies early eighties.
If anybody remebers the movie´s name, then please help a frustrated moviefan...
Thanks beforehand from a newbie to the forum
