Revenge of the Green Dragons Movie Review

Wars raged in New York's Chinatown in 1977 between Chinese gangs centering on Mott Street When Congress changed the Chinese Exclusion Act allowing more Chinese into the U.S., competition was fierce, work was hard to come by, so Chinese men organized street gangs modeled after the gangs that the Communists destroyed on the mainland.
