When a mysterious gangster starts sabotaging soccer team The Eagles' chance at winning the upcoming championship final, there is only one man who can save the day...Joe Bullet.
When local soccer team The Eagles fall prey to a series of onslaughts from a mysterious gangster only a week before the championship final, the team turns to the one man that can help save their chances at victory - Joe Bullet (Ken Gampu). Joe will have to battle against villainous henchmen, escape booby-trap bombs and bring his martial arts expertise to the fore in order to survive an attack from a deadly assassin. In the end he will have to infiltrate the mysterious gangster's hide-out in a dangerous cat-and-mouse rescue mission to save not only The Eagles' two kidnapped star players, but that of his beautiful love interest, Beauty (Abigail Kubeka). The odds will be stacked against him, but he's the man that fights crime, the man that no one can tie down! Joe Bullet!
The producer of the film was Tonie van der Merwe.
Independently released in 1973, it played at the Eyethu cinema in Soweto. After just two screenings the film was banned. This was done because the South African government at the time was concerned about the influence it could have on black South Africans. For about 40 years the original film reels were stored in a box in the back of van der Merwe's garage gathering dust. He kept the reels every time he moved home.
The film was restored by Gravel Road Distribution under the supervision of its original producer, Tonie van der Merwe.
