Death Promise (1977)
Death Promise is a 1977 grindhouse flic from Robert Warmflash. It is a mix of genres like action, vigilante and kung fu and it breathes mid seventies urban USA from beginning to end. The cult movie is starring Charles Bonet, (Don’t Go in the House) Speedy Leacock, stuntman Thompson Kao Kang (The Black Dragon), and martial arts film legend Tony Liu (Way of the Dragon).
Plot
The residents of a New York building are being harassed and threatened by Iguana Realty, the dummy corporation which owns the land, in an effort to force them out of their homes.
But when karate master Charley’s father is murdered by a group of thugs hired by the landlords, he decides to take matters into his own hands. With the help of his best friend, fellow fighter Speedy, and driven by a desire for vengeance, they soon develop a plan to murder each board member of Iguana Realty. 
However, what they don’t realize is that their final target is someone much closer to home…
Notable scenes
The beginning of Death Promise is classic with the title song during the whole scene where Charles Bonet and Speedy Leacock are running in yellow Bruce Lee track suits.
the scene where someone gets a bag full of rTs tied over the head.
The fightscenes are over the top with screaming hairy guys.
Our view on Death Promise
Death promise has it all, bad acting, staged fights, over the top bad guys. And a great soundtrack. Despite all the flaws Death Promise is surprisingly entertaining. 
The story is original but sometimes incomprehensible. It’s fun to see tennants take revenge on bad landlords. The mix of action and kung fu is a real joy, so this is a must watch for all you exploit fans!
