A spoof of the martial arts genre that melds borrowed footage from the little known 1976 Hong Kong karate flick "Tiger & Crane Fists" with new footage featuring the film's writer/director, Steve Oedekerk, as a heroic figure out to avenge the death of his parents at the hands of the evil and seemingly indestructible kung fu legend, Master Pain.
