Originally filmed as White Tiger back in 2012, Russell’s film apparently sat in legal limbo until Vision Films, thankfully, picked the film up for release as the newly monikered Death Fighter.
The final film to feature the late Joe Lewis (Jaguar Lives, Force Five) who was – Fyi – one of only 5 men to ever defeat Chuck Norris in combat, Death Fighter is headlined by Matt Mullins (Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, Mortal Kombat: Legacy) as a young American cop who witnesses his mentor’s murder in a trade deal gone wrong and finds himself on the wrong side of the law in Thailand.
