Synopsis

A vicious teenage gang with ties to the Mob has taken over the city, led by a deadly and mysterious martial arts master known only as Sonny. In desperation, the Mayor and Police Commissioner enlist J.D. McKay, a karate expert and mercenary vengeance fighter, to rescue the city from destruction. McKay systematically eliminates the gang's ruthless members with pinpoint precision until only Sonny remains. Once boyhood friends, McKay and Sonny are now enemies—one is responsible for the city's downfall, while the other has been hired to stop him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
