We begin with Jim Kelly about to do what he does best, fight, in this case an arena kickboxing competition, and after about five years of him having been absent from the big screen...
But, realizing his fellow boxers are going down too quickly, he ventures backstage and discovers the mob's placing metal within their own fighter's gloves...
Kelly, seen eavesdropping, is chased outside and shot in the arm. And never fights again except for a quick uni-dexterous brawl...
And after a long forty minutes: enter Jim Brown and director Fred Williamson as Kelly and promoter Richard Roundtree's buddies, who spend the rest of this slug-paced turkey seeking dull revenge...
This is an obvious attempt to revitalize the blaxploitation era, particularly the trio's THREE THE HARD WAY and TAKE A HARD RIDE added with some SHAFT persona from Richard...
But winds up providing nothing but a cure for insomnia.
