Viewing Notes

Really sad that we lost Darren Shahlavi. He’s such a great villain in these movies and a total beast of a man. It’s funny tho that his style in this film isn’t really boxing based on his moves but whatever.

There’s a funny moment when a bright blue compact car is seen driving in the street in the background when Sammo Hung makes his first appearance. I had to rewind it bc it was so weird.

This is basically the ROCKY IV of the series. Not as good as the previous film but good for having Lo Meng and Sammo.
