• Weak keep. You would think, with a notable director, stars, and choreographer, that there would be some coverage out there. But since this was released in the 1970s it may be hard to find online. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 21:05, 13 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  Sources are available, not sure how good they are: this one and this bit about banned/unrated films. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 21:12, 13 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  I think the Time Out one is short but still good. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 21:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Weak Keep because there are a few results in Google Books when I search for this film. One book, Hong Kong Action Cinema, says, "His first hit was the widely distributed Bloody Fists." The book Films of Fury: The Kung Fu Movie Book calls this film "an independent produced milestone". I agree with Anachronist that online coverage would be difficult to find, but it does not mean that the topic is not notable.

  The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies has this entry for the film here. Last paragraph is good out-of-universe background information. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 21:14, 13 February 2017 (UTC) reply

  I've implemented in the article the sources mentioned in this discussion. I'm fine with keeping it now. Erik ( talk |  contrib) ^{( ping me)} 15:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep in light of Erik's expansion of content and references. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 22:06, 16 February 2017 (UTC) reply
