I find it interesting that no one knows the name of the Thai kickboxer from the first half of the movie. Not even Mike Leeder as far as I know. And I’ve heard that he never made another movie appearance after this.

In reply to Martin Sandison.

Meng Hoi was the original director, however when Rothrock took a break to film the ‘China O’Brien’ flicks, upon returning Hoi was replaced by Corey Yuen with the plot significantly reworked. Think I remember reading from Mike Leeder that if you look closely you can see Wu Ma’s character unconscious on the floor during the Thai kickboxer sequence, even though it’s never explained how he got there – a carry over from Hoi’s version that had Ma’s character become someone completely different in the version Yuen ended up putting out as the final product.

Andrew, thanks for the info! I didn’t know that, looking at the movie it makes sense completely.

I love this movie. It’s hard to believe that this was technically two movies combined together with the fights against Billy Chow and the Thai kickboxer being the finales for one movie while the fights with Falcon and Lynn were the finales for the other. It’s a real hodgepodge, but I love it anyway!

And Ronny Yu as a villain was a real hoot!
