After a plane crash in the Japanese mountains, its only survivor—a baby named Andrew Collins—is adopted by Tatsuya Sanga, a samurai master.

Soon, the drug dealers kidnapped the girl, forcing Andrew to enter a deadly weapons based martial-arts tournament ruled by illegal gamblers whose greatest champion is the lethal Kenjiro.

Additionally, many scenes of violence or injury are zoomed in on, poorly cropped, or deleted altogether to avoid explicit details.

The unrated cut has different dialogue in some scenes, no subtitles, and all of the violence is onscreen and considerably more graphic.

There is an uncut Belgian bootleg DVD and the British version has approximately one second of footage cut.
