True Vengeance is a 1997 American action film directed by David Worth, starring Daniel Bernhardt, Miles O'Keeffe, Beverly Johnson and George Cheung.

Bernhardt stars as a former Navy SEAL and Yakuza henchman who must twice face his past when his old clan, looking to silence him, hires his former military squadmate (O'Keeffe), with whom he had a falling out, to take him down.

When Griffin notices that the criminal is accompanied by his wife and two children, he calls off the killing, but his colleague refuses and murders the entire family.

In present-day U.S., Griffin is a single father raising his daughter Emily in the absence of her deceased mother Yoshiko, a Japanese national for whom he had left the military, becoming a Yakuza enforcer for a time.

[3] The modest schedule and stylish choreographies resulted in two days—both during the filming of the Jade Gate club gunfight—requiring more than 100 camera setups each, which was a new record for the already expeditious Worth.

[10] Author "Outlaw" Vern commended the film's action, saying: "It's elaborate and exaggerated in a particular way you don’t tend to see in American productions besides Hard Target.

Some of these cues were featured on a 1998 promotional CD compilation of Edward's work released by his talent agency SMC, and simply titled Film Music.
