A man goes to Thailand to find his missing brother only to find that he’s been murdered.
The other Brucesploitation movie. This time with no pretense of featuring or being about Bruce Lee! That element’s a little curious, in fact. I mean, the movie’s not even set in Hong Kong. The movie is about as far away as you can get from Bruce Lee.
Anyway, the movie opens with a jade trader walking into the woods at night. He’s jumped by a group of bandits and killed. One of the bandits steals an amulet that he’s wearing.
Later, the man’s brother Chan arrives looking for his brother. He meets Yu, a cop trying to take down the local crime boss and the two of them beat up some thugs. Yu pops up periodically throughout the movie, but he’s not really part of it. In fact, I shouldn’t have mentioned him. You see how long my posts usually are, though, right? I need some padding for this one because nothing really happens. I’ll demonstrate.
Chan meets a shop owner who’s also from China and is sort of adopted by him. The man is trying to set Chan up with his daughter. Bit by bit, Chan learns that his brother is dead and starts following the path through all the members of the gang until he finds the leader and kills him. Specifically, he manages to kill the leader because the leader gives all this thugs the day off and Chan finds out. After killing the leader, Chan is about to be killed by the gang, but the cops, led by Yu, arrive and arrest everyone. Chan and the girl leave. THE END.
The movie’s boring. Skip it.
