Summary: Good movie but shitty acting
The acting done by the Americans is just horrible. They are presented as sex crazed animals.

But I don't care about that. Let's talk action. I don't think there was any wire-work during the actual fights. Yes, Jet does some boxing here, but to a certain extent. You still see your fancy Jet kicks - Jet bends in some awkward postion and kicks his opponent.

The first fight is in a bar room. Jet is challenged by an American (the guy that played Paco in "Bloodsport") to a boxing match. Well, Jet doesn't know the rules of boxing. So first off, he starts beating the guy with his legs. Then he starts beating him with his elbows. Then he just throws that motha.

Later on, Jet has to be the guy's sparring partner because he needs money. So the guy beats the living daylights out of Jet. It's get's really brutal.

Later on in the movie, Jet is challenged by teh captain or general (somne tall white guy). The fight lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes. It was really good, with some nice Hong Kong spins in them.

The last fight is pretty aamazing. Once again Jet is faced up against the tall guy. The fight begins with just a basic hand to hand type thing. Then Jet busts out a chain-here we get some see some crazy shit. Just awesome. Then onto more weapons.

This movie doesn't have a GREAT story or GREAT actors, but it has really good fights. Your amazing 80's stuff.

A definite recommendation just for the fights.
