I agree. This movie is better than a 4.8. It should at least have a 5.x rating.

I think for a lot of people today, this movie is too hokey, the special effects too obvious, and the action scenes too obviously choreographed. I don't mind any of that, though. It's vastly more entertaining for me than most movies today.

That's why this was the last film that he did with Cannon and for his next movie he jumped ship and went to Trans World Entertainment.

Sounds to me that Cannon was racist towards Asians, so I don't blame Sho for leaving
