Viewing Notes
Second Bolo Yeung film of the night, this time the first movie off the MVD double feature Blu (the other is IRONHEART). Cool to see this right after watching DOUBLE IMPACT as they were shot within a few years of each other in Hong Kong. Yeung once again playing the bad guy.
The plot, though straightforward, gets convoluted in the telling as the bulk of the story is within a flashback. The instantly recognizable Yasuaki Kurata makes lots of questionable decisions as the protagonist, and a younger Simon Yam shows up as his protege, Ryu. Gotta be honest, I didn’t recognize Yam while watching the movie!
