Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive…
That’s the first verse of the epic song “Eye of the Tiger” by the band Survivor. While that’s the theme song of this Gary Busey movie, that’s about the only thing that the song has to do with this movie, and the only reason I can tell that they’re even associated with each other is because both Survivor and this movie Eye of the Tiger were Scotti Brothers productions.

Slaughter’s big, bad, black and bold
The brother has a lot of soul
Don’t you make him mean and cross
‘Cause he’ll show you who’s the boss
Slaughter
You can probably gather with those words, that this Slaughter guy is probably a pretty hard ass dude. If you didn’t guess that, it’s too late because he’s probably already either punched you through a wall, or tackled you from a second story into a pool. That’s because Slaughter don’t mess around, and he doesn’t appreciate it when you blow up his daddy’s car, killing him in the process.

Mike Delano (Steve Rally), a detective for the LAPD, refuses to let the Yakuza take over the west coast. While eating in a sushi restaurant, Mike and his partner witness the murder of the owner and his daughter when they won’t pay protection money to a couple Japanese gangsters. Mike’s partner gets killed during the investigation, and he gets informally teamed up with Akashi (John Nishio), a Tokyo cop to out for vengeance for slain family members who were killed in the restaurant. Akashi is used to dealing with the Yakuza in Japan, and shows Mike that he had been dealing with them in the wrong way. While the Yakuza are not afraid of death, they do respect the method of death, so Akashi quickly dispatches one of the thugs and marks him with the phoenix to send a message. Now they must battle the gang to earn their respect. Will the Yakuza kill of Mike and Akashi, or will Mike and Akashi collect all of the limbs of the gang to earn the respect they deserve – and stop them from taking over the whole west coast? Did we mention that this was directed by Ulli Lommel, the same guy that directed one of our least favorite movies “Cocaine Cowboys“? This should be interesting…
