From Chris: An interesting Italian-made East meets West-themed b-movie as a Chinese immigrant becomes a cowboy in the American Wild West. The protagonist overcomes racism and bigotry with an array of martial arts skills. Kind of a proto-Jackie Chan film from the early 1970s. They smash the kung fu genre together with the spaghetti western. The martial arts action is pretty bad but star Chen Lee definitely has a screen presence.
Cauldron Films put this one out, supposedly from a new 2K restoration. Grain looks a little rough around the edges and detail is less than exemplary, but low-budget techniscope films from this period never look that great.
