Joe Bullet is a South African action film released in 1973 and directed by Louis de Witt.

The film stars Ken Gampu as Joe Bullet, Joe Lopez as Dan Poho and Abigail Kubeka as the singer Abigail.

The movie takes place in the township of Doornfontein, Johannesburg, where Dan Poho manages a struggling soccer team called the Eagles. Poho is approached by a mysterious businessman who offers to help him win the next match by bribing the opposition team. Poho declines the offer, but the businessman does not take no for an answer and hires a group of henchmen to intimidate Poho and his team.

In desperation, Poho turns to Joe Bullet for help. Joe is a tough and resourceful private detective, who is also a skilled martial artist and marksman. Joe agrees to protect the Eagles and begins to investigate the threats against them. He discovers that the businessman is involved in illegal activities and has a personal grudge against Poho.

Joe and his team of allies, including the singer Abigail and a local police officer, launch a series of daring attacks on the criminals. They raid their hideouts, destroy their equipment and vehicles, and engage in fierce gun battles. Joe uses his skills to outsmart the henchmen and their leader, a ruthless hitman named Snake. In the meantime, Poho and the Eagles prepare for the game of their lives, determined to win it on their own terms.

The climax of the movie takes place at the soccer stadium, where the Eagles and their opponents face off in front of a packed crowd.
