    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Karen Shepard didn't want her character to die in her fight against Cynthia Rothrock as was planned, claiming it would be harmful to her career. To appease her, Corey Yuen pretended to film her running away after the fight, but later filmed her character's death via a stunt double.
    • Goofs
      During Cindy Si's first fight in the mahjong school, it is very obvious when Yuen Biao is doubling for some of her stunts particularly because of his dark hair.
    • Alternate versions
      The cuts to the UK VHS include a few seconds in the fight between Yuen Biao and Peter Cunningham in which Biao is hit onto a table and throws a plant. The second is an 11 seconds cut in the fight's end to remove two face kicks and a kick to the throat, of which remains a slow motion kick to the face.

    Cynthia Rothrock's best film, and so much more!
    Her American flicks have been lackluster or worse, but under the direction of a top-notch fight choreographer (if I'm not mistaken, Biao Yuen himself was in charge) and editors who knew what they were doing, she looks wonderful. I'd nominate "RW" as having one of the two or three best chick fights that I've ever seen,

    And Biao is way, way over the edge. The extended battles are fantastic (including one with a corpse used as a Jackie Chan-style prop), so I'll forgive him the dopey opening sequence.

    This is GREAT HK noir! It really passes the "Joe Bob" test, if you know what I mean, and I know you do. Tranquil moments of sappiness lead directly to mayhem and nastiness. Always.
