Thank you! Yeah my personal enjoyment on this one was off the charts. I love this very specific brand of 90s American Kung Fu B-Movie, and this is definitely one of the weirder ones I’ve seen. You’re right about the action–it’s shot super well and it has a great go-for-broke attitude and fearless stunts. It’s tough assigning a rating to something like this, because for those of us with a soft spot for this era, it’s beyond fun despite how “bad” it is narratively.

(Bolo Yueng in a dress? A side character who only shows up to dance like Michael Jackson during the middle of a brawl at a discoteque?). I watched it for my birthday last month and had a total blast. I think if you like WTF martial arts B-Movies, you can even bump the score up to 8/10—I say that because, despite how weird and stilted the performances and storytelling are, the action scenes are still topnotch for an American production circa 1991, thanks to the Taiwanese talent that orchestrated all the flying kicks and broken glass. (I believe this was released straight to tape in the US in 1992).
