Viewing Notes
The last desperate days of the early to mid eighties for Show Brothers begat some odd kung fu movies like Journey of the Doomed. It’s not a terrible movie, but isn’t particularly great either. It ranges from softcore porn titillation in the first quarter to a jealous love story in the middle half, taking dives into martial arts action in between. Probably not worth your time unless you’re really into Shaw Brothers stuff.
