Cult Classic: Amongst martial arts fans for the very well choreographed fight sequences.
Magnificent Bastard: "The Killer", real name Chad Atkins, was a former kung fu champion who was disqualified from the Tournament of the Champions for injuring a contestant. After faking his death in a car crash, he reemerged three years later as a theatrical Serial Killer of martial arts champions, starting with his fellow tournament contestants. His modus operandi is to duel his victims to the death in disguise and in private areas while leaving minimal evidence that could be used to trace his real identity, quickly knocking out potential witnesses. When he decides to broadcast the murder of one of his victims live on the internet, he rigs the building he's in to explode the moment anyone steps foot in it and escapes before the police can track his location down. Continuing to evade the police while sending them cryptic messages, he finds a Worthy Opponent in Detective Ken O'Hara after a chance encounter with him during one of his attempted murders. He soon kidnaps O'Hara's wife and child and straps a timed bomb to them, forcing O'Hara to kill him so he can save his family, the bomb posthumously revealed a bluff as Atkins leaves a recording reminding he doesn't kill innocents.
Special Effects Failure: In the first fight, after the killer succeeds in killing his opponent and hoisting him over his head, the cable holding the "dead" actor up is clearly visible.
