The copy I have is on VHS titled "The Blood Hero" dated 1976 and dubbed in English.
The movie stars Meng Fei and Little Unicorn (as brothers) with Ruben Ramos and Ernie Ortega as the main villains. Also starring Romy Mallari, Christina Reyes, Dick Israel and Anna Marie Chen.
Directed by Chik Yiu-Cheong, filmed in the Philippines and a Hong Kong / Philippine co-production, this film (from that era) is one of the better ones you'll find.
I remember seeing this in the late 80's or early 90's. The movie was OK as I remember with a decent storyline.
The villains try to buy Unicorn Chan and Meng Fei's father's land to grow opium in exchange for weapons from the Japanese. Unicorn was willing to sign it over to them because he was enticed by the money and women, but has problems getting ahold of the deeds to the land. Because they were holding out, the thugs came and caused a fight which led to their father's death.
Of coarse Meng Fei blamed Unicorn for this, but the brothers reunite in the end to get their revenge.
Some would give this a poor rating, but others would enjoy one of the better Hong Kong / Philippine co-productions of the 70's. I would recommend giving it a try.
