Viewing Notes

Sammo Hung is thug yet again!! Angela Mao isn’t the only badass here… George Lazenby kicks some ass as well including laying out Sammo Hung! The premise is rather amusing as it’s about a crime syndicate that produces a designer drug that turns up the libido in the user. Lazenby and Mao team up to take them down.

I prefer the alt.HK title: “The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss” rather than “Stoner” which I thought was a play on the drugs at first but it’s Lazenby’s name in the movie! Besides the final fight the real highlight is the sweet crime lord lair with the revolving floor. Total 70s.

Not a great film but a fun flick for everything mentioned above.

LBd: Sammo Hung the thug (again) with Angela Mao as not the only badass here… George Lazenby’s mustache kicks some ass as well. Rather amusing premise about a crime syndicate producing a designer drug that turns up the user’s libido. PEOPLE WANT THE SEX. Lazenby and Mao buddy cop it up to take them down. Besides the final bass battle, the real highlight is the sweet ass crime lair with the revolving floor. I prefer the alt.HK title: “The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss” which refers to that exquisite velvety red room. Total 70s. I want to live this in movie.
