Summary: Good final fight

Lok and his friends must flee to Thailand after accidentally killing their boss. They are treated almost as slaves by some thugs who hire them as fighters in rigged fights. At first, Lok accepts the conditions under which he has been forced to live, until finally the lion becomes vengeful and confronts the thugs. Nothing new here, but... his final match against Shih Kien is both brutal and realistic, one of the best I've seen in a movie of the 70s.
