Viewing Notes
Had to give this a spin bc that clip with the daughter hanging outside the moving car keeps popping up on my TL. For most of the runtime the movie is merely okay. But that last third / quarter is batshit. Love that Moon Lee as a mother here is still a competent martial artist but not explained how or why. I’m guessing she was also a cop who married a cop and retired to start a family.
Certainly this could use a proper release with improved subtitles. Filmmaking this insane should be preserved.
