SYNOPSIS
Jason Stillwell (Kurt McKinney) is a Bruce Lee fan and karate student who trains at his father's Los Angeles dojo. One night after training has finished, the dojo is visited by members of an organized crime syndicate who try to force Jason's father into paying protection money. When he refuses to agree, he is attacked and has his leg broken by Ivan Krushensky (Jean-Claude Van Damme), the hired thug of the boss.
With his injury, Jason's father is unable to continue as an instructor
and the family move to start a new life in Seattle. Jason has a hard time adjusting to his new surroundings and finds himself picked on by the local bullies when trying to join the local dojo.
One night after being beaten, he is visited by the ghost of Bruce Lee (Kim Tai-Jung ). After being trained by the ghost, Jason goes from a below average fighter to near invincibility. Local fighters organize a fight in an arena between themselves and fighters from the crime syndicate, setting the scene for Jason to meet up with Ivan and settle the score once and for all.
