ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
The story begins with a special agent Angela Mao investigating the peculiar circumstances of the recent purchase of several ships destined for the breakers' yards of Hong Kong. Steven, a special policeman from America, comes to Hong Kong to investigate the unidentified drug smugglers who are responsible for his girlfriend's death. Mr. Sinn, the powerful man of the Asian mafia, orders his men to destroy Steven at any cost. Meanwhile, Angela successfully reaches the island of Sinn and the shrine of the Ultimate Bliss, the headquarters of the largest drug smuggling operation in Asia. Posing as a hawker, she continues to gather evidence to put Sinn's gang behind bars. As Steven closes in on Sinn's operation, he crosses paths with Angela. Unfortunately, they are both caught by Sinn. They're thrown into a small cage and forced to take drugs. Can they run away? Will Sinn's gang be put behind bars? |

| Another bizarre early 1970's contemporary kung fu flick riding in the wake of Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon". A tall, lanky, and VERY 70's looking George Lazenby is a hot-headed Australian cop named Jack Stoner who's trying to trace the origin of a new super drug called "the happy pill". Sweet and demure Angela Mao is a Taiwanese cop who also gets assigned to the case, although her investigation is much more discreet (and she's oh-so-cute!). They both finally end up at the evil drug lord's mansion and beat everyone up in a blistering barrage of martial arts fisticuffs. The first hour is dreadfully dull, and even sinks into cheap thrill cheesecake land, but once the fighting starts, it becomes very interesting. Watching George Lazenby exchange blows with Hong Kong's finest is quite entertaining. His execution is surprisingly good, but he still looks rather goofy doing it (he's also a good two feet taller than anyone else in the film, which adds to his awkwardness). Not surprisingly, the highlight of the film is watching Angela Mao duke it out with one of the guys from the climax of "Hapkido". Although many of her moves are the same, her burning intensity and physical precision are a sheer delight to behold. Samo Hung also shows up as a gang leader with a REALLY nasty wart on his nose. He outclasses nearly all of the other fighers, even though Lazenby eventually beats him into the ground. Overall, a fairly entertaining slow starter with a slam-bang ending. |
