Synopsis by John Gonsalves
When debonair Chin Fu (martial arts star Jimmy Wang Yu) shows up at a nightclub one evening, no one knows he's the son of a kung-fu master out to avenge his father's murder -- or was it suicide? Teaming up with a pretty lounge singer-guitarist (Maria Yi), he sets out to infiltrate the Japanese mafia. To do this, he offers the bad guys his services, even if it means unleashing his flying fists and feet on an old friend of his who hasn't paid protection fees to the mob. But even as he sinks into a world of corruption and high-stakes gambling, he never loses his cool, reminding his new employers, "I'm Chinese. Remember that."
