The film features several fight scenes, with Lovitt using kung fu to deal with an array of villains.[1]

It was subsequently released on VHSbyVestron Video.

Reception

[edit]

Daniel R. Budnik, in his book 80s Action Movies on the Cheap, calls the film "enjoyable" but "schizophrenic", stating "the film's style changes so much there could be ten directors involved".[1] Shock Cinema called it an "amusingly braindead romp".[3]
