Culture Shock: American Rickshaw

18*

Scott Edwards is a manual rickshaw driver in Miami who finds himself entangled in the murder of a man he just met. As he fights to clear his name, Scott becomes part of a good vs evil battle between an ancient Chinese witch and a nefarious evangelist, who's hiding a horrific secret.

Directing under an Americanised alias, Italian maestro Sergio Martino takes time away from his trademark gialli and takes a delirious stab at the 80s All-American action genre, throwing Chinese mysticism and magic into the mix to create a mindboggling piece of cult cinema with a finale that must be seen to be believed.
