Blade in Hong Kong is a 1985 American action/adventure[2] television film directed by Iranian-born director Reza Badiyi.[3] It is based on a novel by Terry Becker.[4] It stars Terry Lester as a suave private eye who becomes embroiled in a battle against the Hong Kong underworld.[5]
Blade is a private investigator and the adopted son of a wealthy business tycoon in British Hong Kong in the 1980s. When a criminal gang attempts to murder Blade's father at his retirement party, Blade chases after the would-be assassins and uncovers a people smuggling scheme from mainland China and a hostage situation. This further leads him to accidentally collide with an elaborate plan to steal a priceless sacred artifact. Blade clashes with the Royal Hong Kong Police Force over their disbelief of his story and takes matters into his own hands to free the hostage and reclaim the stolen artifact.
