In this martial arts actioner, a kickboxer's life goes into the gutter after he accidentally kills an opponent during an important bout. Devastated, the distraught fighter becomes a street bum until his brother's murder by a drug-lord rouses him into a frenzy for revenge. Kickboxer Johnny Rider's (Dale "Apollo" Cook) target is narcotic kingpin Rod Sparks (Nick Hill). In order to bring him down, Johnny joins Sparks' organization as a goon. His plans to get near Sparks and destroy him, however, are nearly destroyed when dogged detective Bill Williams (Ron Hall), himself a kickboxer and the brother of the man Johnny accidentally killed, enters the scenario. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

A golden Buddha and two kickboxing con men provide the basis of this lively martial-arts actioner that opens during the Vietnam war as three lost commandos make their way though the jungle and find themselves in a cave containing a fabulous golden Buddha. The story jumps ahead twenty years as two con artists Dave and James run a successful scam that bilks gamblers out of their money during phony kickboxing matches. One of the three veterans tells the grifters about the treasure and enlists their aide in getting it. He then draws them a map just before he is executed by the villain McMann's henchmen. Shortly thereafter, James, Dave, and Dave's girl friend, Julie, head for Cambodia. They are pursued by McMann and his deadly gang. The question then becomes, who will get to the treasure first? ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
