The mix of brutal violence and comedy may seem like an odd combination at first, but since the comedy is mainly dialogue based and serves as a nice breather in between action scenes it seems to work okay.

And trust me, if you're the delicate type (I myself am not), you'll need those breathers, because some of the violence in this movie is pretty raw, reminiscent of the old John Woo heroic bloodshed stuff--and beyond. You got men, women, children and old people getting snuffed in this one.

But that's one of the things I love about HK movies: true equality--no one is spared. But hey, it's only a movie--and a damn entertaining one at that. I wasn't bored for a second watching this '91 gem of action. It's packed with crazy gunplay, bazookas, chainguns, knives, axes, scalpels, martial arts, explosions, cars, motorcycles, cable cars, Japanese terrorists, Tibetan lamas, killer stewardesses, and one hell of a convienient RC car.

In short, I loved this movie; and if you like all-out, take-no-prisoners HK action, chances are so will you.
