Overview

Ti Lung plays a Vietnam vet who’s now an ‘honourable’ mercenary-for-hire taking on an assignment tracking down an assassin who’s fled to Cambodia after murdering an industrialist from Hong Kong. He recruits a team for the task which consists of who’s who of the Shaw Brother’s action stars (Lo Lieh, Johnny Wang Lung Wei, Wong Yue, Chan Wei Man and comedy relief Nat Chan). However once they arrived for the mission nothing is what it seems with the standard plot-twists and turns as we find out who’s the traitor among the group.

Viewing Notes

Was only able to see the first movie in Justin’s Mind Melter 24hr Movie Marathon this morning. This crazy men on a mission flick kicked off the marathon. Ti Long leads a group of B-roster Shaw actors on a mission in Thailand. It’s fun but lives in the shadow of Eastern Condors.
