Richard Norton, Stan Wertlieb, Stack Pierce, Chuck Jeffreys and Kymberly Paige also appear in the film. StoryJoe Wong was a character that previously appeared in a Leo Fong film, Low Blow. He was a California PI who ran his business out of his shabby unkempt office.[1] Wong returns in this film as one of the best in the business, operating from his base in San Francisco.[2][3][4] One day a woman walks into Wong's office and asks for his help. She needs him to find her missing husband Aldo. This takes Wong on a journey though the criminal world. Along the way he encounters a father and son team of Solomon and Bones which is played by Stack Pierce and Chuck Jeffreys.[5] Wong ends up getting involved in a gang war between Malcolm Boyd (played by Richard Norton) and Aldo (played by Stan Wertlieb), the man he was supposed to be looking for.[6] BackgroundDue to the recurring character Joe Wong, the film is probably a sequel of sorts to Low Blow where in this film, Fong plays a Raymond Chandler type martial arts expert.[7][8][9] The alternative title Eyes of the Dragon 2 Bloodstreet, could give the impression that it is a possible sequel to another Fong Directed title Eyes of the Dragon, which also featured Richard Norton, Chuck Jeffreys.[10][11] It was directed by both Leo Fong and George Chung, and the cinematographer was Frank Harris.[12][13] The narration for the film was provided by Leo Fong.[14] Roles and actor infoStack Pierce who plays Solomon here,[15] acted in Low Blow and depending on which source, he played either Corky or Duke.[16][17] References
