Cynthia Rothrock and Bolo Yeung in Tiger Claws II (1996)
The cops Tarek Richards (Jalal Merhi) and Linda Masterson (Cynthia Rothrock) are in New York and investigating mysterious murders of martial arts masters, whose bodies have wounds similar to scratches from a tiger. The evidence seems to lead to Chong (Bolo Yeung), a serial killer on the loose who is thus arrested. Chong, however, was helped to escape by men of his brother, a wealthy crime lord of San Francisco's Chinatown. Cops Richards and Masterson chase him but are captured by two criminals and their followers. The Masterson is locked in a cell, while Richards is forced to participate in a strange martial arts tournament held in the underground city. The four finalists should, with their mystical powers, open a time portal of the Chinese New Year.

    It's all about Bolo
    I got this movie from the video store simply because it had Bolo Yeung in it. And he is as big and powerful as ever. But he has toned down his cruelty level, and plays a calm introspective type.

    Don't let that fool you though. There are plenty of fight scenes in this movie, and lots of big name, and simply big martial artists. Also as a big plus, someone apparently taught Cynthia Rothrock how to stage fight without missing the person by two feet, although sadly she still doesn't know how to act without being annoying.

    Oh BTW toward the end of the movie there are scenes of cinematic Kung Fu. Portals through time, paralyzing touch etc. But it all works out into a fun martial arts movie. Just don't go looking for plot.
