Nice b-movie. There is enough action in the film to make it good to watch. Michael Dudikoff makes quite nice films every now and then, I think this film is an example of that. Not a great movie, but a nice snack.

Mediocre film in which an American soldier appears to have Eastern fighting techniques. A rather weak story that sometimes comes across quite ridiculous (also the romantic part could have been better left out). The action scenes sometimes come across as a bit clumsy, but that in itself is partly charming. The acting is of a poor level and only Steve James knows how to bring it enjoyable. Not good, but maybe that's why it's nice sometimes. A narrow 2.5 stars.

I always watched this movie when I was a kid.
Very badly acted, but it does bring you into a good atmosphere from then.
A movie that you should definitely see.
