One of Billy Dragos better films, 31 July 1999
Author: Bernhard Wetzstein from Leverkusen, Germany

China White is an entertaining action movie. In contrast to other movies, which are similar ( and these are a lot ) it is relatively well played and has a quickly developing storyline. Certainly it contains many extremely bloody shoot-outs and some strong language. Actionfans will love the slow-motion death-scenes, especially during the last 30 minutes. One of my favorite movies. Check it out !
