The DVD I have is from Germany titled "Wu Kung - Herr der Blutigen Messer" ("Wu Kung - Lord of the bloody knife"), English Dub with a release date of 2010, starring Lo Lieh and Gracy Tong Ka-Lai.
In the beginning we some thugs hiring a guy to make a phone call to report a robbery at a certain time. Then our hero (Lo Lieh) shows up and we soon find him laying in the road to stop a truck carrying money. The truck stops, the men help him up and all hell breaks loose, but our hero gets hit in the back of the head. The cops show up and then we roll into the opening credits.
The credits stop rolling and we start with his release from prison (5 year term), which he heads to his fathers house to be forgiven for the mistake he made. "What the hell just happened"? "Am I missing something here"? and so I thought (and you will too) for a moment. When Lo leaves his fathers, he goes to find his girl (Gracy Tong Ka-Lai) at the hospital (where she works). This is when we find out more detail about what happened, why and how. She wants to know why he kept her waiting for so long (they were supposed to get married) and he explains everything.
Anyway... now that he's out, he wants to seek revenge against the lowlifes that set him up for the fall. Interesting movie, not bad for 1973 and a pretty decent cast.
