When a pagoda statue that is a priceless jewel, and part of China's national heritage is stolen and the daughter of a French banker abducted, a Chinese detective, Tchao Tchun, is called upon to rescue the jewel and the girl in this chop- socky actioner. The performances and the plot are rubbish, but there's lots of fight scenes and Jazz pianist LaMont Johnson (who worked with the likes of Jackie McLean and George Benson), was a producer and contributed to the movies funky music score. It's easily the best thing about this film which was originally titled ZE WANG but distributed in the U.S. as Thunderfist, and directed by Wing-Cho Yip to cash in on the worldwide market for martial arts action.
