Клетка смерти
Writer
Как известно, вокруг любых поединков, всегда крутятся деньги, а где деньги, там не бывает честной игры. Си Хан, представитель школы «Белый Китай», проигрывает явно подстроенный поединок, бойцу из «Кен До». Следствием проигрыша становится закрытие школы, и начало новой карьеры, на поприще механика, в маленьком гаражном сервисе, на задворках города. Так бы и продолжалась жизнь Си Хана в машинном масле и болтах, если бы представители школы «Кен До» не стали терять деньги на тотализаторе, из за отсутствия достойных противников для своих бойцов. Для подстёгивания интереса к боям, они решают провести матч-реванш, между собой и «Белым Китаем», к участию в котором принуждают Си Хана. Во время боя Си Хан, вопреки всем козням противников, триумфально возвращает себе титул чемпиона. Но как показала жизнь, он начал рано прыгать от счастья — неприятности только начались...
