    Nothing to see here
    I have the video CD release and watched it because I am a fan of martial arts movies and recognized many Shaw Brothers martial arts stars in the credits. Though not a martial arts movie I did hope to see some action. I saw none.

    It starts with the narrator introducing the main characters and explaining everything. Lo Lieh fakes he is rich to seduce Woo Gam. His failure motivates the kidnapping. The master plan is based mostly on Chinese superstitions. This first kidnapping fails and leads to a second kidnapping. This time the details are complicated. Nothing about the second kidnapping is smart, intriguing, or suspenseful. It's just blundering toward certain failure. Plus, any sympathy toward the criminals goes lost.

    The current rating here of 7.2 must be on a scale of one to one hundred, not one to ten. I rate this movie as a do not watch warning. Nothing to see here.
