Viewing Notes

Not really a Donnie Yen film (he doesn’t appear until 14:30). It’s Lee Lou and the three teens movie. Also, just based on Yen’s appearance in this film (Billy Chow as well) I’m guessing this movie was made 5 years before this release year.

This is a solid 5 stars (out of ten) film but I give it bump for evil Collin Chou and his badass henchmen incl. Chow and the badass blonde Kim Penn in her last movie. Curious why she retired from the business bc she was always a presence in these action flicks. She has a couple of great fights with Lou and the teens.
