''Blood Debts'' is a 1985 Philippine action movie film directed by Teddy Page.

After his daughter is raped and murdered, Mark Collins hunts down and kills the men responsible. His actions put him on the radar of a mysterious businessman named Bill, who kidnaps Mark's wife to use him as his personal assassin.

The movie is perhaps best known for the ending, in which the story ends the moment the BigBad is killed and briefly tells about the protagonist's fate.

!The movie contains examples of:
*AllLowercaseLetters: The ending text is written this way.
*AnswerCut: Mark asks where he can find the blackmailer Bill wants him to kill, at which point the scene cuts to the site of the mission.
*BigBad: Bill, a corrupt businessman who wants to eliminate his rivals and take control of the drug trade.
*{{Blackmail}}: Bill not only [[IHaveYourWife uses Mark's wife as a hostage]], but reveals that he has enough evidence to ensure Mark's conviction should he not cooperate.
*DesignatedGirlFight: When Mark and his partner track down a man for information on their latest target, Mark fights the man while Mark's female partner fights the man's girlfriend.
*DisposableWoman: Mark's daughter Sarah is only introduced to be killed off and provide Mark with a motive to seek revenge.
*DownerBeginning: At the beginning, Mark's daughter Sarah and her boyfriend are killed by a gang, with the former being raped beforehand, and Mark is injured.
*DrivenToSuicide: One of the blackmailer's victims is a young mother who committed suicide.
*IHaveYourWife: Bill kidnaps Mark's wife to force him to do his bidding.
*NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Bill claims to be a man devoted to seeing criminals get what they deserve, but he's actually a criminal who's having his opposition killed.
*PrettyLittleHeadshots: One of the men who robbed an old man in the bar ends up getting a bullet to the head.
*RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Mark tracks down the gang members and kills them in revenge for his daughter's death.
*SignatureLine: The ending narration is easily the most iconic part of the film.
*UnwittingPawn: While Mark is forced into killing for Bill for the entire movie, he remains unaware of Bill's real agenda for much of the film.
*VigilanteMan: After killing the men who raped and murdered his daughter, Mark goes after other criminals.
*WhatTheHellHero: Yvette calls out Mark on killing people in the name of vigilante justice and convinces him to stop.
*YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Mark is well aware that he'll be killed once his employer doesn't need him anymore.
