Viewing Notes

Have I said how much I love Cynthia Khan? This is a tour de force performance by her in which she’s doing 80 percent or more of her own stunts. It’s insane. The story is just okay and starts slow. By the third act it’s full-on action and she’s at the center. Super fun to see her mixing it up with Billy Chow, who I just watched take on Jackie Chan in Miracles. Billy is great here and has some excellent fighting action with Cynthia.

The PQ on Tubi is really good so I’m guessing this Fortune Star gem is getting a solid BD release if it hasn’t already. 100 percent one to own for CK kicking ass in HK and Korea.
