Depasquale Jr., for all intents and purposes looking like a mentally unstable version of David Duchovny, storms around for the whole film pulling a variety of bizarre faces, firing a gun while not looking where he's shooting, and my personal favourite, adopting a Yosemite Sam pose while firing two pistols at once in the film finale (it's priceless).

The best exchange comes between him and his hairy-faced partner though, in a group martial arts practice session in police headquarters. Depasquale Jr. calls out hairy-face to stand in front of him and tells him to watch as he throws a series of punches. The camera focuses on the poker-faced expression of his parter as his eyes attempt to watch the punches, which just equates to him blinking a lot and looking worried. Great.

Other must-see highlights include a spectacular exploding head, Sibelle Hu riding a motorbike onto the top of a hijacked jumbo jet to take on some (possibly Taliban) terrorists in a scene which is clearly ahead of its time and also has nothing to do with any other part of the film, and the brief but always welcome appearance of Mark Houghton and Sophia Crawford as two of the worst-dressed bad guys ever.

"China Heat" is a classic for all the wrong reasons, it's just a shame only the Chinese language track was included [on the US DVD by Image], as there is probalby more English spoken than Chinese.

Watch with a beer for maximum enjoyment!
