    Name of a martial arts movie where they used acupuncture to kill.
    Hi

    I remember of this martial arts movie where the main character was a white american guy.

    The orientals in the movie used to kill using acupuncture needles. I think it's from the 70's or 80's, but can't remember the name of the movie nor the actors name for searching in imdb.

    Thanks

    RA.

    Golden Needles (1974) ?
    IMDb review:
    A mixture of the then-popular martial arts genre with a ''Maltese Falcon''-like plot, it's a fast-moving, popcorn movie, the kind they used to make in the '40s. Starring Joe Don Baker and Elizabeth Ashley, the film spins an actionful tale, set in the seamy section of Hong Kong. Baker is a soldier of fortune-turned antique dealer~or maybe the other way around~who is hired by a mystery woman (Ashley) to steal a priceless ancient statue with the power to bestow long life and sexual vigor or instant death to s/he who owns and wields them. She has been cheated out of the statue by a powerful Chinese gang leader (Roy Chiao) and is after it for HER employer (Burgess Meredith). Karate star Jim Kelly appears briefly as Baker's partner in the antique business.. . Beautiful Frances Fong is around as well, as an agent for the Hong Kong government and also in pursuit of the statue. Double-crosses, fights, chases and mayhem ensue, but, though the plot has more than its share of threads, it is never confusing,
