Plot
James Iglehart plays African-American prize fighter Cal Jefferson who is on honeymoon in Hong Kong with his new wife played by Shirley Washington. He comes across a drowning Chinese man who he jumps in the sea to save. This now revived and very grateful mute man turns out to be someone they cannot be rid of. They finally are rid of him or so it seems. They purchase an item in Hong Kong which becomes the center of a gang's attention. The gang led by Kenneth Metcalfe will stop at nothing to retrieve it. They leave Hong Kong for Manila in the Philippines and find themselves being attacked with the mute Chinese man coming to their assistance.[http://www.grindhousedatabase.com/index.php/Bamboo_Gods_&_Iron_Men Bamboo Gods & Iron Men] at The Deuce, Grindhouse Cinema Database
