Fight to Win (also known as Eyes of the Dragon and Dangerous Passages [1] ) is a 1987 martial arts comedy film directed by Leo Fong and starring Cynthia Rothrock, George Chung, Richard Norton and Chuck Jeffreys. In the film, martial artist Ryan Kim has an upcoming fight and gets training from a martial arts master, Sensei Lauren.
In a martial arts tournament the statues of three chinese gods were given to the three winners, Armstrong, Kim and Sakiyama.
20 years later, Sakiyama is the sensei of Kim´s son Ryan and Armstrong wants to get hand on the their two statues. Sakiyama falls ill, so he can not train Ryan any more, who loses the match for his statue against Armstrong´s fighter. They arrange a final fight in two months distance and the winner will get all statues.
Sakiyama´s former pupil Lauren arrives to train Ryan from now on, but he is biased because Lauren is a woman. She defeats him, he gives in and ultimately wins against Armstrong´s fighter. But then Armstrong´s men show up, armed with guns and he simply keeps all the statues.
Now Sakiyama´s fighters have to fight Armstrong´s crime syndicate at their mansion to finally teach them respect and get the statues they won.
The film was shot on location in Northern California. [2]
