This film isn't duty! Get it? Duty? Poop? Why do I bother?

This flick may well be the definition of wall-to-wall action. There must be at least 8 fights that go over 2 minutes here, with some extra action thrown in for the hell of it. The story is crap, but who wants to watch this masterpiece for the rich plot development and rich characterizations? Shit, with Michael Wong in it you damn well know there ain't gonna be no Oscar winning performances. But the action in this film does excel, making this a must-see for action fans.
Everyone does a great job under Yuen Woo-Ping's action direction and the finale is a humdinger. The stuntwork is A+, particularly Cynthia Khan's wild fight on top of a speeding ambulance. Donnie Yen and Michael Woods have an awesome fight combining kickboxing and wrestling moves and throws. Cynthia Khan and a Russian looking dude who is an awesome kicker have a good bout, as do Cho Wing and Yuen Yat Chor. Also watch out for the comical fighting of John Salvitti, who has probably the wackiest fighting movements I've ever seen.
