Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Four Riders, also known as Hellfighters of the East, is a 1972 Shaw Brothers Martial Arts Movie directed by Chang Cheh, starring David Chiang, Ti Lung, Chen Kuan-tai and Wang Chung. Oddly enough, despite being one of the usual "Chang Cheh directs, David Chiang and Ti Lung acts" output from the 1970s, the film is actually one of their few collaborations which isn't a wuxia-style historical period piece. It's also notable for being one of the studio's few films that was filmed overseas, in this case in Seoul.The year is 1953, shortly after the Korean War. In a military base in the Korean-border, Sergeant Feng-xia (Ti Lung) and Private Gao Yin-Han (Wang Chung) decides to flee the base and make a move towards the big city, hoping for a quick break from military duty. Meeting up with Private Gao's friend, Li Wei-Shi (Chen Kuan-tai) who is currently off-duty due to being hospitalized, and Jin-yi (David Chiang), another soldier who went AWOL weeks earlier, the quartet unexpectedly stumbles into the operations of a drug smuggling ring involving the Yakuza.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Action ensues. And everyone gets to beat the snot out of numerous faceless mooks before the credits start rolling.

Bar Brawl: Jin-yi in one solo fight scene had him beating up the mafia's thugs (Led by Andre Maruis) in the pub he frequently drinks at. And winning.

The Alcoholic: Jin-yi is a heavy drinker who spends most of his scenes, including his intro, drinking heavily in bars and pubs.

Badass in a Nice Suit: The Yakuza leader (played by Yasuaki Kurata) spends every scene in a slick black suit with red tie, even in the final battle against the four. His underlings in comparison tends to wear casual shirts and jeans instead.

The Cavalry: The local Korean police that arrives at the conclusion of the final fight... unfortunately, they arrive with the intent to killing everyone that's not dead by the end of the battle. That includes the four.
