“a definite must see for all martial arts fans, and especially for anyone yet to be introduced to the lovely and feisty Angela Mao. Well directed and boasting an unbeatable cast, it has stood the test of time and still entertains every bit as much today as it did during its original release ★★★★★” – Eastern Kicks

“a fun and entertaining martial arts movie… spectacular and furious action… Full of energy and displaying her Taekwondo skills, Angela Mao’s definitely the main attraction.” – Asian Movie Pulse
