Screaming Tiger

In the early 1900's, a mysterious Chinese man is out for revenge.  It would seem that some Japanese men killed his family and he's out for revenge.  While traveling, he encounters a group of thieves.  He quickly beats the men, but a mysterious man with a basket on his head and a flute follows him, at least tries to secretly follow him, but how can you miss a man with a basket on his head?

The man with the basket advises  him not to hate all Japanese.  That they're all alike.  Then the basket man leaves.  Enters a woman, who's pretending to be Japanese, but is really Chinese and part of the same group of thieves.  Now the mysterious Chinese man chases her  for his stolen money.  Eventually they end up going to get something to eat.  The Chinese warrior  fights sumo wrestlers to earn a prize of gold to buy food.  Of course he wins.  But the thieves try to rob him.

Suddenly there's a Korean fighter that helps, but the Korean wants revenge against a Japanese fighter, who may be responsible for killing the Chinese fighter's family.  The Japanese fighter kills two Korean fighters and  then confronts the Chinese fighter.

Yes it does sound all over the place.  Because that's exactly how this movie goes.  You can't follow the dialogue.  The plot jumps all over the place.  Like when the Chinese fighter confronts his villlage's killer, there's suddenly a train.

The only interesting part of this movie is that the Japanese fighter is the actor who was Master Pain, now known as Betty from the Kung Pow movie.
