A karate master fights a bear, zombies, AND a necrophile. Mexican cinema peaked here, sorry Coppola.
In this outrageous sequel to Garra de tigre / “Tiger Claw” (1985), martial artist Ruben Gonzáles returns to battle a killer bear, a necrophile psycho and zombies.
Practical Effects
The bear suit deserves its own film school thesis.

Ruben Gonzáles commits harder than budget allows.
Director
Mario Alcantara
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Mexico's 1980s 'video boom' direct-to-VHS industry, where filmmakers cranked out genre hybrids with whatever props were available. The bear likely came from a circus connection.
Director Mario Alcantara made roughly 30 films in this era, often starring the same rotating cast in different costumes. The 'zombies' here are reused actors from his previous horror cheapies.
