The movie talks about a tough police man (Chuck Norris) from San Francisco , he's double-crossed and a friend cop is murdered . He renounces as a honorable cop in the presence his chief (Richard Roundtree) and helper (Matt Clark) . Later on , a journalist being eliminated by a mysterious killer , a sadistic villain Chinese (Professor Tanaka) . His friend reporter (Maggie Cooper) -working in Television channel whose owner is an elegant tycoon (Christopher Lee)- hands over Norris a tape with clues . The loner cop must protect her from threatening hoodlums . Perennial karate guy Norris along with his partner , Mako , undergo a violent confrontation against the Chinese Mafia , pitting corrupt cops from police department and criminal gangs named triads . Norris saves the day in this thrilling and exciting movie .
The picture is plenty of action-packed , tension , suspense and cheesy sub-plot , to boot with wild stunts . There's a lively conflict , ridden love interest as well , as Norris falls in love with a lovely journalist who must save her . The movie displays a plethora of martial art fights , as Norris cleans up the Chinese fighters by means of punches , kicks, bounds and leaps with struggles certainly slickly choreographed . It's violent , frenetic and hectic and not particularly literary but worthy entry in Kung-Fu genre , although runs out energy surprisingly early . Average Norris-thriller , exciting and tense at times , including fine work , as always , from Christopher Lee as a brilliant TV financier . Special appearance as hunk villain of Professor Tanaka with lots of visceral violence , he's a wrestler who possessed incredible strength , he was arguably the successor to Harold Sakata(famous Chinese nasty of ¨Goldfinger¨) as the archetypal Asian henchman . The film belongs to Norris'early period , during the 80s , such as : ¨Code of silence¨ , ¨Delta Force¨ , ¨Silent rage¨ , ¨Octagon¨ , ¨Forced vengeance¨ ,¨ Force of one¨ , among others with successful box-office in cinema theaters as video-rentals . In the 90s and 2000s with exception of ¨Walker Texas Ranger¨, the Norris star has gone down . Action addicts will give this one a passing grade , all others need not apply . If you're a previous Norris fans , you'll like it but contains enough action and violence for enthusiastic of the Chop-Socky genre . The motion picture was professionally directed by Steve Carver who directed to Norris in ¨Lone wolf McQuade¨, as well.
