What happens

Red Sun Rising is a 1994 American martial arts action film directed by Francis Megahy and starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, James Lew, Terry Farrell, Mako, Michael Ironside and Edward Albert. Wilson plays a Japanese cop who travels to Los Angeles and teams up with a reluctant American counterpart (Farrell) to track down the gang responsible for the murder of his partner, whose hitman (Lew) is an expert in the ancient art of the death touch. The full title, as it appears on the title card, is Red Sun Rising: Based on the Legend of the Death Touch. Widely regarded as a step up in class compared to Wilson's bread-and-butter work for producers such as Roger Corman, it is held as his best film by many reviewers and by the actor himself.
