So the first forty minutes of this Hong Kong kung fu flick doesn't really feature much kung fu(outside of a kickboxing match) but what it does focus on is a really sleazy prostitution and drug-smuggling ring of gangsters treating women like garbage. There's a bunch of really goofy dubbing that leads to some hilarious scenes of heavy-handed pimping and one goofy rape. Then after all this the guy who's featured on the poster(and my VHS tape), Ron Van Clief(credited as Ron Van Cliff?), shows up and the ass-kicking commences in a pretty straight-forward fashion. Maybe if they mixed these two elements up a bit more it mighta been a more entertaining film. As it is I found the sleazy parts fun and the revenge bits pretty standard and overall a fairly forgettable affair.
