Viewing Notes

Wasn’t sure why I had bumped this particular HK flick until I saw that Corey Yuen directed. Yep, trying to watch all his films yet kinda surprised he hasn’t directed more.

I’d say a lot of this is middling but the few action fighting flourishes make up for it esp. the crazy ending upon ending with both Joyce Godenzi and Carina Lau displaying their fight skills. Too bad that Joyce was only in 4 more feature films (according to IMDb) after this. She’s dynamite.
