One of my favorite movies! I want it on videotape!, 20 December 1999
10/10
Author: Terry MacKay (Oshun) from Baltimore hon

If you are a Sam Fuller fan, you will LOVE this movie - it is one of his best. And James Shigeta was my third crush (after Popeye and Turhan Bey). Great movie, with some great location shots in Chinatown. Love it!
