Death Machines (1976)

An American action crime film directed by Paul Kyriazi.
An Asian woman has a trio of fighters whom she send to kill people for her. A crime boss soon finds out that the Asian woman wants complete control of all hit men in the city and will kill anyone who tries to kill someone without her guys. The trio attack a karate studio where they kill everyone except one student who sets out to get revenge.
The plot was murky like a Louisiana bayou on a moonless night and the characters were similarly unidentifiable. Is the hero one of the villains? If you like cheesy '70s music (and I know you do), the soundtrack is awesome. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen and the editing was off-time. Hence, the pacing was terrible. There were a few good scenes including 2 bar/restaurant brawls and an office timebomb freakout session. The first restaurant brawl was accompanied by Christian country music and it seemed very Tarantino-esque. I'm rating this o.k. because it sucked something fierce, but had it's moments.
