Viewing Notes

I was surprised to see this was on Amazon so I had to watch it; one of the classic Hong Kong films from the ‘80s I’d never seen.

The bulk of the story is pretty typical with training sequences, romantic comedy and team rivalries (think STRIPES) but is bookended with two amazing action set pieces featuring Cynthia Rothrock (and Jeffrey Falcon from SIX STRING SAMURAI in the finale) who is just amazing.

I really want a deluxe box set of all of Rothrock’s Hong Kong films.
