Viewing History (seen 1 time)

Viewing Notes

A fun throwback action movie with all the now-typical tropes. It’s interesting to watch this after having watched so many Hong Kong martial arts movies from the 1970s and ‘80s. You can see the evolution of martial arts action films over time.

Unfortunately, the disc from Netflix was scratched all to hell, making for a frustrating viewing experience, especially because most of the skipping occurred during, you guessed it, the final fight scene.
