Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The crew from Enter the Dragon strike again with the irritating tendency to cram in every feasible plot variation, confusing good with more and bigger. Where the film diverges from its Chinese forebears is in making its hero not just one of the karate students whose school is threatened - here by a collusion between civic developers and Mafia money men - but a rich outsider in the employ of the US government, thus losing whatever subversive qualities the Chinese originals contain.Author: VG
