Viewing Notes
aka NONE BUT THE BRAVE, its original title (much better).
One of my least favorite Kung fu sub genres (Japanese occupation/ Chinese nationalism/ revolutionaries) but Cheng Pei-Pei carries this movie on her back and the strength of her performance. Joe Shishido is here as the main Japanese playboy ambassador with is wild to see. Jackie Chan also has a small talking part as one of the Japanese!
