Hawk's Vengeance

Hawk's Vengeance (1996)

Eric Hawke a British Marine, attends the funeral of his policeman brother who he discovers has been attempting to investigate the mysterious kidnappings and murders of a local Asian street gang. The clues seem to point to a rival Nazi white supremacist gang as the culprits, but Lizzie (Hawke's brother's partner in the police force) is not so sure: she suspects a larger conspiracy which involves one of the city's most powerful crime bosses, a man by the name of Garr. As the body count rises, Eric, Lizzie and young Asian gang member Lipo Chung race to uncover the truth behind the murders, before more missing gang members wash up on the beach with missing organs.

A spin-off/sequel to Snake Eater III: His Law (1992) and the fourth installment of the Snake Eater film series, it introduces "Hawk" Kelly, the British-raised stepbrother of the previous films' "Soldier" Kelly, who investigates his sibling's mysterious death amidst a gang war between ethnic Chinese and white skinheads. The series' usual star Lorenzo Lamas does not appear, and his role is recast with another actor during a brief expository scene.
