Real-life kung fu expert Nathan Ingram takes center stage in this gritty martial arts classic, portraying a karate school owner who stands up against a drug trafficking gang masquerading as competitors. Directed by Charlie Ahearn, known for the influential hip-hop film Wild Style, the 1979 feature utilizes the nearby housing projects of New York's Lower East Side as its backdrop. Shot on a vintage Super 8 camera, the film captures the raw energy of the era, blending martial arts action with a compelling narrative of survival and resilience in a gritty urban landscape.
