Plot
The film opens with kickboxer Jake Raye fighting Mickey Sheehan for the Lightweight Championship. Jake kicks Mickey in the throat, instantly killing him. Jake decides to give up kickboxing.
A year later, friend and manager Vinny Petrello (Maurice Smith) asks him to travel to Manila and bail him out of trouble with a guy named Su. Jake Raye travels to Manila, and meets up with local fighters John Jones (James Warring), Sal Taylor (Timothy D. Baker), Manny Rivera (Manny Samson), and Tobo Casenerra (Monsour Del Rosario). He also meets up with Dieter (Robert Marius), the head of the Dojo. Dieter drugs Raye and puts him on a ship with the other fighters. Raye is reacquainted with his friend Bobby Rose (Richard Hill) and meets another fighter named Ernesto (Steve Rogers). Su (Joe Mari Avellana) is the one bringing fighters to his island home called Paradise, and Vinny is helping him.
The fighters briefly revolt giving Jake Raye time to escape, but he has a change of heart and decides to free the other fighters. He makes it back undetected by Su. Jake takes out some guards before Dieter discovers him and Vinny knocks him out. Jake is taken to the challenger’s box of the arena, where Su, Vinny, and his guests are awaiting the match's beginning. Both John and Ernest die in the arena while battling their opponents while Manny is killed trying to escape. Ernest wins his fight, but Su orders Vinny to kill him. Jake fights and kills Vinny while the others defeat the guards and the elite fighters. Bobby shoots Dieter, and the film ends with Jake kicking Su with off a balcony.
