Wissenswertes
This movie is based on the true life story of a Korean fighter named Choi Bae-dal (who later changed his name to Masutatsu Oyama), the founder of Kyokushin Karate in Japan. Choi was born in South Korea in 1923, immigrated to Japan in 1938, and founded the Kyokushin Karate organization in 1953. Currently, Kyokushin Karate is practiced by more than 12 million practicioners in over 120 countries around the world.

Alternative Versionen
US "Champion of Death" version is cut by roughly 5 minutes. This mainly includes the "Gardening With Oyama" montage around the hour mark, as well as a few snippets when Oyama is told to return to Tokyo and continue his Karate training. However, there was also one brief cut in the finale to avoid an X rating, when Oyama pierces a henchman's head through his mouth with a bo staff. Despite the cut, due to a mastering error, the audio of the deleted shot can still be heard as Oyama disarms a gunfighter.

Mas Oyama (1923-1994)

Sonny Chiba, as everyone knows, is the man. In this film, he portrays Mas Oyama (1923-1994), a real martial artist who fought over 50 bulls with his bare handsand won (interesting guylook him up). Anyway, Chiba only kills one bull in the film but it's a memorable scene and as the liner notes say, right up there with the zombie vs. shark scene in Zombi! The film also offers up loads of hand-to-hand combat and a decent plot to boot, though I don't believe all of it is true. This film is the first of the Oyama trilogy Chiba made and is recommended for fans of martial arts action. Finally, three neat little tidbits; part of the opening theme was used in Kill Bill Volume 1, Oyama himself appears in the opening sequences, and that is because he trained Chiba in real life for five years!
