Remarkable addition to the Hong Kong industry's numerous NY Chinatown filmed pieces of the day.
This Shaw Brother's effort follows the lead, arrested and processed after a police raid on a Canal St. clothing workshop. He has no status in HK, where he'd swam, or the US, where he arrived as a stowaway, to avoid metal detectors which would pick up the bullets still in his body.
The film's Detailed picture of NY Chinatown life is more involving than the gang war plot they move into.
These films anticipate GREEN CARD. Cheung & Law later did The SOONG SISTERS.
