FATAL CHASE

Starring Robin Shou

I really must say I enjoyed this show. Language was down to a minimum there was no sex or nudity, vilonce was high, but the martial arts was fantastic. And As usual, Robin did a great job acting.

This movie was about Dragon, (Shou) A cop out to bust up a drug lord's opperation to smuggle in some printing plates to make counterfiet money, who is also involved in a drug opperation.  After a bust in which one of the suspects was apprehended, Dragon's mission is for him and "Cynthia" To take him back to the Phillipines to be tried and convicted. Only because of the corruption in the department, he gets away. Dragon partners up with an inspector, (Phillip Ko) to stop this man, and his rivals from following through with their plans. Cynthia gets mixed up in the deal, and is killed. Now Dragon is on a personal mission to stop this any way possible.

This movie had some great Martial arts scenes. There were two bad guys, a guy and a girl, who did everything in perfect sync. their short lived rein of terror was as graceful as a ballet. (Before they were killed of course.) Robin, in a scene with one of the bad guys, Looked like he was having too much fun with trick sword play. Getting snagged by a sword, trying brilliantly to kick it with his foot, then catch it, only to kick it into the hands of the bad guy, and the almost Abbot and Costello-ie fight scene made it hilarious to watch. And when they got serious, so did the action. The acting on all sides was very well performed. And though I've seen him as a bad guy, I like Phillip as a good guy best.  Although this movie was a fantastic show, I did not like the voice actors they chose.  And the sound effects were quite cheesie. But that doesn't stop me from giving this movie a score of

9 1/2
