On this platform, we’ve been closely following the development of this project since its inception. A project that is now a reality, and that moviegoers finally will be able to enjoy this summer. Directed by Chilean director Ernesto Diaz Espinosa (Kiltro, Fist of the Condor), the film marks the third collaboration between Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror in the roles of protagonist and antagonist. A reunion that sounds like a celebration for fans of the genre after the joys both stars gave us in the past in essential films like Undisputed III and Savage Dog. The trailer gives a sneak peek at the martial arts and ballistic spectacle that Diablo promises, with Adkins as the central axis of the action, promising to quench the thirst of action movie fans. The main attraction is a new duel between Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror. After his release from prison, one man makes […]
The film opens firstly in Chilean cinemas in August!
Scott Adkins shows no sign of slowing his output after John Wick 4 shone a significant spotlight on him, as his latest starring vehicle, DIABLO, goes into post-production. Helming the actioner is Ernesto Diaz Espinoza, a name that’s ended up on many “One to watch” lists after his last two efforts, Redeemer and The Fist of the Condor. Chilean powerhouse, Marko Zaror, also stars. Today, Deadline.com has reported that Diana Hoyos has also joined the cast. Hoyos, a veteran of Spanish tv, established herself as an action actress with roles in 2017’s Sniper: Ultimate Kill and Never Back Down Revolt from 2021. Plot details, according to Deadline: The film follows Kris Chaney (Adkins) who, after being released from prison, embarks on a perilous mission to fulfill an old promise but finds himself in danger when he kidnaps Elisa, the daughter of a powerful gangster. Her father, Vincent, puts out a […]
Dazzler Media is gearing up to release Ernesto Diaz Espinoza’s latest thriller, Fist Of The Condor, and DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download beginning October 2. Pre-orders are also available which you can find here. The first of a hopeful trilogy, Zaror stars in the lead role of a monastic warrior beholden to the secrets of an ancient martial arts style. The story explores his origins through training and the incumbent drama that envelopes him into a story of vengeance, forcing him to fend off waves of assassins and hungry henchmen until the day he can step face-to-face with the man trying to kill him: his evil twin brother. The film also stars Gina Aguad, Eyal Meyer, Fernanda Urrejola and Man Soo Yoon.
Marko Zaror and director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza are already in tow with more prospective cinematic action. That especially includes a sequel to Fist Of The Condor, the inaugural martial arts revenge spiritual now available from Well Go USA on Blu-Ray and streaming on Hi-YAH! Upon the empire’s fall to invading conquistadors, the 16th-century Incas quickly concealed a sacred manual containing the secrets behind their deadly fighting technique. But after centuries of careful safeguarding, the manual is again at risk of falling into the wrong hands, leaving its rightful guardian to battle the world’s greatest assassins to protect the ancient secrets within. The goal was to host this giveaway much earlier but a bulletin went out about a month ago citing an issue with the warehouse, and so I wasn’t able to acquire my two giveaway copies of Fist Of The Condor. That all changed late last week, hence the giveaway […]
How’s this for another ‘triple threat’ of sorts? Actors and action superstars Scott Adkins and Marko Zaror will reunite for Diablo, from director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza, which rolls cameras later this year in Chile. The film teams Adkins up for the first time with Espinoza who has collaborated with Zaror on several genre hitmakers, firstly collaborating on 2006’s Kiltro which launched the Chilean martial arts star to leading man stardom. Deadline’s Zac Ntim reports: Plot follows Kris Chaney (Adkins) who, after being released from prison, embarks on a perilous mission to fulfill an old promise but finds himself in danger when he kidnaps Elisa, the daughter of a powerful gangster. Her father, Vincent, puts out a call to the entire criminal underworld to bring her back alive. El Corvo (Zaror), a psychopathic killer, joins the hunt not for the money but for his own vendetta against Vincent’s family. Kris must […]

The longstanding partnership between John Wick: Chapter 4 co-star of late Marko Zaror and Chilean writer/director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza continues its reign to this day, as the duo puts itself in a position to stay the course with martial arts adventure, Fist Of The Condor. The first in a coming trilogy of films, the film is split into chapters which explains why it is that earlier plans proposed included a possible web series to start with. Totaling […]
Genre fans in the U.S. are just a week away from the release of Fist Of The Condor, the latest from writer/director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza and action star Marko Zaror. TKD Life Magazine has uneviled an exclusive behind the scenes featurette which you can view at the bottom of the page, featuring Zaror in action along with the film’s cast, lending some insight into the characters and setups that comprise the story. Fist Of The Condor centers on the tale of a monastic martial arts journeyman whose quest to protect the ancient secrets of the fighting arts used against 16th century conquerors finds him a war that threatens to become more personal, endangering everything he’s worked for to become the warrior he long strived to be. Also starring are Gina Aguad, Eyal Meyer and Fernanda Urrejola, along with Jose Manuel and Francisco Castro, and with action sequences by Zaror himself. […]
It shouldn’t be forgotten that Ernesto Diaz Espinoza’s new martial arts action adventure, Fist Of The Condor, remains up in the air as a concept to drive an even bigger story beyond the current movie that now exists. Indeed I think it would be the dopest thing to see a full-on trilogy or franchise of some sort stemming from the concepts at play here, and I say this not yet having seen the film since it began its festival run earlier this year. Upon the empire’s fall to invading conquistadors, the 16th-century Incas quickly concealed a sacred manual containing the secrets behind their deadly fighting technique. But after centuries of careful safeguarding, the manual is again at risk of falling into the wrong hands, leaving its rightful guardian to battle the world’s greatest assassins to protect the ancient secrets within. That’s the wind-up-and-the-pitch right out of genre staple Well Go […]
Well Go USA has acquired Ernesto Diaz Espinoza’s newest martial arts opus, Fist Of The Condor, following its world premiere at IFFR back in January. Alas, Screenrant contributor Brad Curran was on hand to debut the official poster which you can check out at the bottom of the page. Fist of the Condor follows a group of international martial artists who are searching for a book that contains the ancient secrets to overcoming any and all limits of the human body. Marko Zaror plays both the book’s guardian and his twin brother. Fist Of The Condor reunites Espinoza and Chilean martial arts superstar Marko Zaror for their formal debut through Well Go USA after years of making worldwide action niche hits such as Kiltro, Mandrill, and Redeemer, with Zaror making tangential strides in film with credits like Machete Kills, Alita: Battle Angel and Undisputed 3: Redemption, and the upcoming John […]
It’s been at least seven years or more since international action star Marko Zaror and director Ernesto Díaz Espinoza have hit anyone’s radar following their 2014 hit, Redeemer. Nonetheless, fans will undoubtedly feel at home again once the festival circuits inaugurate the premiere of their fifth and latest outing together, The Fist Of The Condor: Part One. Espinoza directs from his own script with a story that tells of four martial artists from around the world, all in search of a book containing ancient secrets on overcoming the limits of the human body. That book and its very knowledge is protected by its most impenetrable gatekeeper, the chosen guardian himself portrayed by Zaror, who is joined by co-stars Eyal Meyer (To Late To Die Young) and Fernanda Urrejola (Cry Macho) along with Gina Aguad (Mirageman), Jose Manuel (El Testigo, The Man From Kathmandu) and Grandmaster Yoon Man-soo (Kiltro). Previous efforts […]
Writer/director Michael D. Olmos’ latest martial arts action comedy adventure, Green Ghost and The Masters of the Stone, quietly landed on Tubi sometime this week and much to my own delight as the film was previously given a very (and I mean VERY) limited theatrical run earlier this year. The film is based on a concept birthed many years ago by Charlie Clark, a car salesman who ultimately found his way into bringing the character to life in a webseries format that now had independent production backing, and starpower to boot. That means having heavy hitters like Michelle Lee and Chilean action star Marko Zaror front and center, the latter wearing multiple hats on the project, including the role of fight choreographer which should entice anyone within reach of Zaror’s filmography in the last fifteen years. It also means having former Jackie Chan stunt cohort Andy Cheng, who has long […]
