Viewing Notes
Also known as THE GOLD CONTRACT, this Hong Kong actioner featuring Elvis Tsui, Melvin Wong and Yukari Oshima isn’t very good. With the exception of the finale, the action is way too short and not enough of it involves Oshima. Her undercover cop character is also pretty silly. The atrocious subtitles don’t help. If this ever came out on disc I’d certainly watch it again, but it’s also one not worth trying to track down unless you’re just a big Yukari Oshima fan.
