It proved to be a singularly implausible exercise resisting the bellicose charms of underrated, and overheated, 'Blood Street', a gnarly low budget actioner starring a deadly duo of pyrotechnically gifted fight technicians, sensei, Leo Fong and the estimable antipodean Kung Fu super-villain, Richard Norton, plus having the iconoclastic, Mr. Fong as the film's director guarantees that the engagingly rough n' tumble fight-flick, 'Blood Street' is an absolutely essential watch for all avid martial art maniacs!
Hardened gangster, skeevey wrongdoer, and powerful drug kingpin, Malcolm Boyd (Richard Norton) fatefully picked a fight with the 'Wong' guy, and I bet you all the ox manure in China that stalwart P. I Joe Wong will always get his man, more dogged than Sherlock Bones, spunkier than Harry Reams, and if y'all do Mighty Joe Wong wrong he's got a deadly, tibia-thrashing trick with a hickory stick that'll split your wig lickety split!!!!!
What started out as a routine case of a too-beautiful wife, Vanna (Kim Paige) and a missing ne'er-do-well husband Macdonald (Stan Wertlieb), very soon erupted into bloody B-Movie gangland war on the increasingly crimson streets of San Francisco! When rival drug barons, MacDonald and Boyd go at one another like blood-feuding gypsies, the steel-fisted Shamus, Wong finds himself dead bang in the squalling midst of a gruesome turf war with the icy blond, Vanna expertly playing one side against the other like some bodaciously put together card shark, but the one stubborn dick she can't handle, totally oblivious to her altogether deadly charms is the dynamite '2 hit Wong', his 1st hit opens up your noggin like a ripe cantaloupe and the 2nd hit is your comatose rear hitting the floor!
It's all in a day's work for the intractable, shotgun-blasting, lightning-fisted Kung Fu private Eye, rarely shaken but never stirred, 2 parts, Sam Spade and 3 parts, Bruce Lee, if you cross this savage, street savvy sleuth you're gonna be history! Leo Fong's bravura B-Actioner 'Blood Street' brings the street savvy 80s Kung Fu heat like no other, and super hard dick Wong just won't be beat!!!'
