Also known as Ninja Killers or A Real Man, this started as Tou tiao hao han. Directed by Min-Hsiung Wu and written by Yang Ho, it was remixed in the U.S. by William C.F. Lo and Richard S. Brummer, who edited New Year’s Evil, Schizoid, Godmonster of Indian Flats, and Alabama’s Ghost, and did sound editing and effects for plenty of Russ Meyer movies. He ran the boom mic on Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! 

This was distributed by Ellman Film Enterprises, who also put the original The Toy, Scream Bloody Murder, Will to Die, Panorama Blue, Coed Dorm, Diabolic Wedding, The Loves of Liszt and The Gatling Gun into grindhouses and drive-ins.

To Pa (director Mo Man-hung) and his Eagle Claw Fighting Clan are trying to rob some gold but are stopped — at first — by Chen Chen Chow, the Lightning Whipper (Ma Kei). Yes, despite having a name like that, they are able to kill the hero, but Lei Peng (Yik Yuen) takes the gold back and plans on returning it to the government. To Pa reacts to this by killing his entire family, except for his son, who is saved by Lady Tieh (Mo Man-ha).

Chen (Chiang Ming) and Mu Lan (Chang Ching-ching), the children of the Lightning Whiper, are able to save Lei Peng from prison. This allows all of them to join up and take the fight back to To Pa.

This has kung-fu vampires, a dude called the One-Man Army because he can hypnotize people before hitting them with his wild double swords, the “Solar Ray of Death,” and a bad guy who loses his arms but gains the kind of martial-arts weapons you watch these movies for. 

You used to be able to buy this for a dollar, but now, someone will put it out on 4K UHD and ask for $70. At least you’ll get a slipcover.
