SUN DRAGON

SUN DRAGON
猪仔血泪
(Zhu zai xie lei)
Hongkong, 1979

Willy Dozan
Carl Scott
Louis Neglia
Joseph Jennings
Liang Hsiao Sung

Directed by Hwa Yi Hsi

A trio of robbers looking for a hideout happens upon a farm and wipes out the family, save for the son, Tim (Carl Scott), who is badly wounded in his escape. Billy Chong (Willy Dozan) and his pal find Tim and take the battered kid to their doctor uncle, who heals Tim by using Chinese remedies. Naturally, Tim wants revenge on the gang that murdered his family. After some martial arts training from the doc, Tim sets out with Billy for some good ol' fashioned vengeance.

This is Willy Dozan's first appearance in Hongkong movies. And his name was changed into Billy Chong. He was pairing with the same director for the next movies, Crystal Fist and Kung Fu Zombie. There is a-plenty of fighting and both Billy Chong and Carl Scott (who is a very good black fighter) are good leads. Being budget minded, the locations are spare and the fighting is strictly ground kung fu, no trickery or outlandishness.
