So Close to Being "So Close"
14 September 2012
I thought that this was excellently Americanized movie for something Golden Harvest made. Then I see that Fred Weintraub produced it, and Robert Clouse wrote and directed it. No wonder it looks all American.

Australian actor Richard Norton who appears in many Hong Kong movies also shows up in this film, making it a truly international production.

Cynthia Rothrock was the only female American actor who's good enough to play the lead in a martial arts movie. This is a good movie that fills the need of for us who wants to see good looking actor kick her way through the bad guys.

The movie looks low budget, and they could have worked on this a little bit more. They also should have used the stunt choreographer that did the "Inspector Wears Skirts" to take maximum advantage of international production.

If the bad guys were bit bigger, and the profession of Chyna was more sinister, they could have made this into another "So Close".
