Viewing Notes

Again, a pretty crappy print, 4x3, likely dubbed from a VHS copy. Some of the fight scenes are pretty good, but otherwise a pretty ho-hum martial arts flick.

Pretty sure the director/cast for this are incorrect, as IMDb seems to have this mixed together with another movie with the same name. Seems to be a common occurrence for Asian films. If I find the correct info, I’ll correct it on TMDb.
