Boxer Cal Jefferson (a likable performance by James Iglehart) and his
new wife (a winningly sassy portrayal by the foxy Shirley Washington)
are spending their honeymoon in Hong Kong. They find their lives in
great jeopardy after the gain possession of a carved wooden Buddha
statue with a substance hidden inside of it that's powerful enough to
control the world. Naturally, a nefarious underworld organization wants
said statue for themselves.
Director Cesar Gallardo, working from a
blithely lightweight script by Kern Metcalfe and Joseph Zucherro, keeps
the pace moving at a snappy clip, maintains an agreeably easygoing
tongue-in-cheek tone and an amusing sense of good-natured silly humor
throughout, makes the most out of the exotic locations, stages the
plentiful martial arts fights with aplomb, and offers a generous amount
of tasty gratuitous female nudity for good measure.
The lively acting
by the appealing cast keeps this movie humming: Iglehart and Washington
make for charming leads, Chiquito makes a solid amiable impression as
fiercely loyal mute Charley, Metcalfe slimes it up nicely as ruthless
head villain Leo, Eddie Garcia likewise excels as Leo's vicious
henchman Ambrose, Marissa Delgado also scores a bull's eye with her
sexy turn as Leo's seductive main squeeze, and the always welcome Vic
Diaz pops up in a small role as a friendly hotel clerk. Felipe
Sacdalan's acceptable cinematography provides a pleasing sunny look.
Tito Sotto's funky grinding score hits the right-on groovy spot. Total
fluff for sure, but an enjoyable enough diversion just the same.
