Viewing Notes

Boy, I really hated this when I first watched it back in 2011! If you decide to just go with it, this is pretty fun. The plot is ridiculous and the sets are goofy at times, but it’s all in service to some great martial arts action featuring CHOCOLATE’s JeeJa Yanin and Muay Thai mixed with drunken boxing and break dancing. Certainly influenced by Jackie Chan’s films. It was a fun way to close out 2023.

Dunno why I haven’t watched this one yet as I’ve had the DVD for years. Another one I can throw on the pile this year.

I spent a good 20 minutes searching for the Blu-ray of this in my stacks! I now know your pain to a small degree!
