There's a movie in there somewhere!

Was it FORBIDDEN ARSENAL where Moon Lee donned roller skates to nab some bad guys?

I think I see a comeback vehicle.

Christ! I'd completely forgotten about that one. I must dig that one out at some point and re-watch it - I remember nothing of it now. I don't recall Moon Lee in it, but as I said, it was LONG LONG ago...

[Brian Thibodeau]

Man, looks like I needed a memory jog too!

You're right, it wasn't FORBIDDEN ARSENAL, which is still an awesome movie in it's own right and a worthy component of the IN THE LINE OF DUTY series.

Moon's rollerskate-fu was actually in NOCTURNAL DEMON from 1990!
