Cynthia Rothrock is quite hot in this movie, thanks to a combination of her hairstyle, her outfits (if you hadn't noticed before what a busty, curvy figure she has, you'll notice it this time) and her brutal, high-impact fight scenes. And even those who complain about her acting (which I have always found OK for this genre) will have to admit that it's a lot better than the acting of her co-star, Jalal Merhi. Bolo Yeung still has his physical presence, but to be honest, the lethal blows of his Tiger Style - deep nail scratches - don't strike me (no pun intended) as particularly brilliant martial arts moves. The plot is thin, the motivation of the killer is absent, and I also disagree with the way the ending plays out (spoilers follow): after Cynthia fails to take out Bolo singlehandedly, Merhi should have failed also, and he and Cynthia should have teamed up to turn it into a 2-on-1 handicap match. But I guess Merhi's ego (he is also the film's producer) got in the way and he had to finish the job alone. (**)
