Swordkill (1984)
Die Frau des ehrenwerten Samurais Yoshimitsu wird von einem Neider entführt und natürlich eilt der Meisterkämpfer seinen Holden zu hilfe. Leider stirbt diese im Kampfgetümmel und Yoshimitsu stürzt, tödlich getroffen, in einen Eisfluss. Mehrere hundert Jahre später wird sein vollständig erhaltener Körper gefunden und in die USA geschickt. Dort nämlich schafft es der schurkische Dr. Richards ihn ins Leben zurückzuholen, an seiner Seite steht die Japan-Expertin Chris Welles, die in dem Samurai aber mehr als nur ein Mittel zum Weltruhm sieht. Nachdem Yoshimitsu einen Pfleger, der dessen Schwerter stehlen wollte, umgebracht hat und aus der Gefangenschaft Dr. Richards flieht, sind sowoh die Firma als auch die Polizei hinter dem ehrenwerten Schwertkämpfer her, der sich auch erstmal an sein neues Umfeld gewöhnen muss...
