**SPOILERS*** After Chuck's, Jim Kelly, team of karate fighters win the L.A Tournament of Champions in karate in a winner take all match the mobster Rossi, Peter Dane, who had the matches fixed for Chuck's opponents to win takes off with the cash,$400,000.00, leaving Chuck's team high and dry! As for Chuck himself he get worked over and shot by Rossi's thugs when he tried to get the winners share, all of it, of the 400 G's that his team so rightfully won.
With Chuck's good friend and promoter of the karate matches Ralph, Richard Roundtree, getting nowhere with Rossi who's planning to skip town with the cash he's reluctantly forced to call for reinforcement in the persons of his bad a** butt kicker friends from New York J & Cal, Jim "Slaughter" Brown & Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, to help him get the job done. And they do it with both fists and guns as well as style.
***SPOILERS*** Far better the the movies prequel "Three the Hard Way" in that it doesn't overdo the action scenes and gives the film a much better storyline to follow with the big three, Brown Williamson & Roundtree, intimidating their enemies far more with their presence not their fists or guns. Speaking of guns both Brown & Williamson, J & Cal, have in the movie hand guns with barrels as long as M-16 assault rifles! In the end the boys rescue both Chuck and his girlfriend Trei,Paula Sills, who were on the run from Rossi's thugs whom the two Blaxploition heroes made mince meat and swiss cheese out of.
The one thing that was a bit strange in the movie is just how J & Cal as well as the entire cast of the movie seemed to all have all ended in what seemed like New York City, we get to see a number of scenes of the NYC World Trade Center, from all the way in L.A for the films second half without the scrip explaining how? Was it tela-transportation or just bad film editing!
