Viewing Notes

Pretty lousy transfer on Tubi to no surprise. Would’ve been better to view on my macbook or phone since it was dubbed. More convoluted than it needs to be and not a very good “I must avenge my father/master” film but I give it a small bump for the awesome Polly Shang. Sadly Carter Wong doesn’t get to showcase his skills much. The final battle is decent and has the old “I’ll just slice off my arm to get away from you” bit. Also, the runtime is 90min or so not the listed 77 on TMDb or IMDb.
