Cynthia Rothrock in one of her many post-Hong Kong pictures, and this
US-Canada
co-production, filmed in Toronto, is clearly one of her better efforts
from the 1990's
as i found the Bad Guy played by Bolo Yeung to be great and very entertaining
with
his Psycho manners.
The giggling Tiger Claw killer. The martial arts action were also better
than usual in
Cynthia's 1990's films as it was asian guys choreographing it, and that
usually mean
that the fighting and the stunts look much better than when US stuntmen
is faking it.
I also found Jalal Merhi, who wrote the script and produced the film,
to be likeable
in the film as a suspended cop, and also the film had a good snappy
pace to it all.
Cynthia was fine as always and looking good.

The film starts with Cynthia posing as a streetwalker
and bouncing her boobs
and being followed by a sleazy guy. He attacks her and she takes him
down with
a couple of roundkicks. But, this has nothing to do with the rest of
the film as she's
a Cop, Linda, and soon she's handling the
case of the dead martial arts master.
Another cop, martial arts savvy Terrick (Jalil Merhi) makes a drug bust
but gets
suspended when two other cops claims that the case was theirs.
When a second martial arts master gets killed by an unknown assassin
using the
Tiger Claw technique, the perp or serial killer is called The
Death Dealer.

Cynthia, The queen of martial art's Linda, who could
be better to handling this
case than she ? As an advisor she gets suspended cop Terrick. Soon a
third
martial arts expert is killed by the Death Dealer and the cop duo starts
looking
for a master that teaches the Tiger Claw technique, as Sifu Chow (Mo
Chow).
Chow accepts Terrick as a pupil and will the Tiger Claw killer be there
?
There's a great looking martial arts fight between Linda and Terrick
and a gang
of asian thugs, very nice, and Cynthia can always make good use of a
billiard que
(i love to see her handling any weapons).
