It opens with four guys with nets and tools walk to a beach. They spot a small boat just off show. The boat crew attacks and kills them. A man in a military uniform suddenly appears and challenges the boat guys. As they fight, John Cheung Ng-Long appears all dressed in white. The title screen flashes. There is an abrupt cut to a man walking to his execution. He escapes. Michael Chan appears involved in capturing him. But when they fight they stop and seem to have a history together.
The action was off to a good start with something different as the criminal had his hands tied during his fight to escape. Overall the fights were all above average. There was good power and the moves never seemed repetitive. The only downside I found was the focus was off at times. Back then film was expensive and "take two" usually was not an option.
My copy is a digital file that plays on a HDTV as wide screen but small with German dubbing. I have only been able to find German and Spanish dubbing for this movie. I do not speak German. Sometimes these movies can be followed despite a language barrier. I had a hard time following this one. So I have to adjust my review to focus only on the action because I didn't really get the story.
I can only recommend this movie for hard core fans of martial arts movies of the golden age from 1967 to 1984 and with the warning about the language barrier.
