Not one of Jim Kelly's finest moments.......

'……but does provide some mild entertainment nonetheless' would be the best way to describe this Al Adamson directed flick. In it a scientist implants a micro film containing the blueprints to a 'freeze bomb' into his trusted (and very attractive!) female assistants forehead to prevent it falling into the hands of the charmingly named 'The Pig' (Harold Sakata), a crime boss who intends to sell the potential weapon to the highest bidder.

Needless to say, the Pig and his cronies are none too pleased when the assistant does a bunk with the said info and thus sets about hunting for her. Step forward the one and only Jim Kelly (equipped with his usual array of cool seventies fashions including some of his trademark track suits!) who intends to put a stop to Pig's nefarious ambitions.

Will our super cool cop save the day? Well you'll just have to watch it to find out. Suffice to say, he performs a fair bit of ass whooping throughout the film including a funky nunchaku sequence.

As said previously, this is far from the best of Kelly's cinematic exploits, however for a quick dose of some hearty, groovy chop socky action, then you could do a lot worse than to give this a whirl.
