I watched this movie after stumbling across it on late night cable.I'd never heard of Kathy Long.It was immediately obvious that she was not only a real athlete,but a real martial artist.She didn't look like the typical straight-to-video actress/model pretending to throw punches.She could obviously mop up the floor with Cynthia Rothrock.As far as the content of the movie goes,if you expected Citizen Cane,you were probably disappointed.I saw exactly what I expected from a low budget martial arts movie.There was lots of ass-kicking and other forms of gratuitous bloodletting.Kathy Long pulled it off.Actresses in Hollywood are a dime a dozen,but Kathy Long combines the good looks and martial arts skills that made Jean-Claud VanDamm a star.If her acting skills are lacking,take a good look at Arnold,Chuck Norris,and Dolph Lundrgren.
