Set in a fictional area of Japanese occupied territory, during ww2, this romp has a feel of Indiana Jones about it, although theres no relic hunting, it has a similar feel to watching it. Superb action, some good fights, and, for once, Ng doesn't irritate the hell out of me. Something worth noting, because of the setting, Yeoh is minus the caked on make-up, and full-can-of -hairspray look that plagued her other films at this time. She never suited that look, and here, more natural looking, she's a real cutie (you can apply the same to Cynthia Rothrock too, she looks better in later films, minus the 80's crap), Yeoh never looked better than she does here. Speaking of cuties, this film features a certain Chindy Lau, a little darling who, sadley, seems to have had only a short lived career, shame. Cracking actioner this, with an obviously bigger than average budget. Essential viewing for any fan.
