The movie has a brilliant cast consisting of Sunny Pang, Koe Yeet, Mike Chuah, and Alan Yun. Kill-Fist is written and directed by the talented James Lee one of the pioneers of the Malaysian Digital Film movement. Sunny Pang, who is an accomplished martial artist, plays the main character. Kill-Fist is Sunny's second project with James Lee after 'Call Me If You Need Me'.
