Viewing Notes

Figure I should watch this one since I recently revisited the previous film and sequel. First time viewing the HK cut in Cantonese. Odd that there’s not a previous log entry for this film bc I’m sure I’ve seen it since I’ve owned that Miramax set since it was released. w/e

So amusing that each of these films features some fair skinned European woman. There’s a couple of sequences that are outstanding but much of this is very goofy especially all of the finale. (that water / hug scene is ridiculous and so dumb) I’d rate this third behind the other two films. However, that entire motorcycle chase is the best thing in all the movies combined.

Apparently this was the most expensive HK production at the time (~$15million). Amazing
