Hunter was probably my favorite show when it was running, and I enjoy watching them again. But in this episode -- when Hunter and McCall arrive at Chang's restaurant (at around 30 minutes) a bunch of Chang's goons run outside with automatic weapons and start firing at them. Seriously? That was taking poetic license to the extreme. If a shoot out like that happened in real life it would draw perhaps 100 cops to the scene, not something a drug lord like Chang would want to happen. Totally way overboard. However, the rest of the episode was good enough to get past that shoot-em-up farce.

It's a Chinese war in L.A.'s Chinatown!

This "Hunter" episode from season 2 number 2 called "Night of the Dragons" is one that was highly memorable and entertaining with action that included car chases, gun shootouts, fist fights, and kidnappings! Wow what an action packed hour only the story and subplot all relates to a underworld gang. As it is clear a power struggle is going on in L. A.'s Chinatown as a Chinese gang killing leads to a connection that involves a police Lt. A Chinese American who has interest in the case. And you guessed it Hunter and McCall are also hot on the trails of the bad guys as this is a war in the making! Also memorable in this episode is that Det. McCall is kidnapped being tied up and gagged(as Stepfanie Kramer has her second damsel in distress scene of the series(first being season one's "Avenging Angel" episode.) Overall well paced and fast style kind of episode one of the better ones and highly memorable and entertaining early episodes of the series.
