Review
by Kozo: |
This
Hong Kong-made Lethal Weapon rip-off features Jade
Leung as the insane wacky cop and Anita Lee as the sensible
partner. The two are sent to track gun-running bad guys in
Indonesia, but they end up battling each other instead for
the most insipid reasons possible. Vanishing Son Russell
Wong appears as the love interest, and there's even a rare
Hong Kong love scene between he and Leung. What does it all
amount to? Absolutely nothing. This action flick is average
as all hell, and is ultimately undone by cheap action and
a meandering story. The fight sequences are cartoony to a
fault; there are times when Jade Leung's foot clearly DOES
NOT connect with a bad guy and he still reels in pain. At
the very least, Leung manages some impressive looking stuntwork,
but it's not enough to save this picture. Also, the antics
with partner Anita Lee and her idiot boyfriend are insipid
beyond belief. If you have a copy of this movie, save this
for a rainy day. Then then take a nap when it comes on. (Kozo
1996) |
