Angelfist is a 1993 martial arts[1] action film starring Catya Sassoon, Michael Shaner, and Melissa Moore.

[2] In Manila, United States Colonel Rappaport is ambushed and killed by the Black Brigade, a terrorist group.

She contacts the US Embassy and leaves a message for Victor Winslow telling him that the colonel has been murdered and she has evidence on film.

Her sister, Kat Lang, a Los Angeles detective, is notified of her death and travels to Manila to find out what happened to Kristie.

Kat goes to the arena and asks De Vega if she can enter the tournament in Kristie's place, but he refuses.

Impressing him with her skills, Bayani secures Kat a qualifying match against Bontoc, the previous year's champion.

Winslow arrives with Quirino and informs Kat that Kristie and Lorda were partners working for the FBI and that Mr. Carrion was helping them by planting them in the tournament to see if there was a connection between the fighters and the Black Brigade.

Winslow knowing Alcatraz's visa is expired, tells him to convince Kat to stop interfering in exchange for a permanent residency in Manila to which he agrees.

At the semifinals of the tournament, Bontoc defeats her opponent and with Lorda a "no show," Kat is automatically advanced to the finals.

Alcatraz develops the film and takes it to Winslow and shows him Quirino is a member of the Black Brigade.

[1][3] In his book on martial arts in American cinema, M. Ray Lott said Catya Sassoon's role that in the "subgenre of the female martial artist", Angelfist was "much more interested in showing her as a sexual object" than would be the case in a film with Cynthia Rothrock, the usual figure in that subgenre.
