The Soul Brothers Of Kung Fu (1977)

A trio of young Chinese refugees (including Bruce Li) are rescued from a raft at the beginning of the film. They settle in Hong Kong and try to make a life for themselves. However, the forces of wrong work against their good natures and cause them to always be in battle in this plotless film.

Initially, the duo help out a young black man (Carl Scott) who is being beat up by some thugs who work for the boss. After that, the boss and his goons are constantly fighting our heroes every opportunity they get. The film tries to put some plot in by having Li compete in a martial arts competition. When he beats the competitor that the evil head honcho has entered into the contest, things gear up. A trio of killers are hired to finish off Li. Of course they don't succeed and the gangster must find way to annihilate Li that is a little closer to home.
