Okay, I'm thoroughly confused.
The prequel was released in 1987, but the movie it prequelled was released in 1991? How? But okay, we must move on.
This is a fairly good movie, considering you can't tell whether it's supposed to prequel Operation Condor, or sequel it. On the box, it's billed as a prequel, but I must say it did feel more like a sequel, even though Jackie appears to be...younger...? I don't know, I'm still confused. But that not withstanding, this was a fun adventure with excellent martial arts, a good story, and some other nice elements.
The dialog was a bit stiff and unprofessional, but the story and the great action/martial arts sequences more than make up for that.
There were some very good landscape/skyline shots here, as well. The photography was well done, the copy I have is clean and clear, and the filmography was nicely done, giving you good, interesting angles and the like.
All in all, I did enjoy this production. Not was well as I did Operation Condor, but it was still quite enjoyable. Some elements were better in this than in the "original," but somehow it was not as fun, though the story was better here.
I dunno. I'm so conflicted. *LOL*
I've got to rate it an 8.0/10 from...
