Storyline
In San Francisco's Chinatown, Eric runs a martial arts school. His skills come in handy when a band of thugs kidnaps his half-sister for a large Chinese gang. The head thug took the job because he has a score to settle with the girl's father. The Chinese gang wants ransom money from the girl's mother, who, despite living modestly, has enough to pay it. Eric gathers a team of expert fighters from his school and goes off to get the girl back. But emotions run high when the team is joined by the father who had left his family years ago. Later, they'll be joined by a kidnapper with a conscience. In the hills, the girl escapes and gets recaptured several times. The hills are teeming not only with the members of the Chinese gang, but with female assassins and cruel bikers, too. Written by J. Spurlin

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
Sh!tty acting combined with sh!tty choreography ruin this whole film. I couldn't stomach more than 30 minutess of this sh!t. The plot is BASIC, even by Kung-Fu standards. I agree with previous reviewers. Plus, why is it so hard for Kung-Fu movie producers to come up with more original title names? It makes it very hard to discern between films. I actually got this movie as one of 20 movies in a $5 20 movie Kung-Fu pack. The transfer is bad quality. Almost worse than a VHS tape. I WISH Kung-Fu movie producers would REMASTER their stuff with the original widescreen version of the film.
Point blank, this movie is a waste of time, even for hardcore Kung-Fu fans.
