TNT Jackson's brother has been knocked off in Hong Kong and TNT heads there undercover to kick ass and find her brother's killer. It all kicks off in this action packed, and afro packed film from Cirio H Santiago. Also, that's the plot.

TNT sure gets into some scrapes here. Almost immediately she's set upon by goons trying to steal her bag (one guy gets a gory arm snapping for his troubles) and then she shacks up at a bar run by Joe while being hit upon by a dude called Charlie, who has an amazing afro and is quite the Russell Brand type when it comes to the ladies. Trouble is, he also killed TNT's brother, but she doesn't find that out until after he's gotten into her pants like the fanny rat he is.

Loads of kung fu fighting (including a topless kung fu fight!), double crosses, and even a bit of gore (turns out that the 'thrusting your hand into an enemies midriff' might be a legitimate kung fu move – I've seen it a few times now) make this film very enjoyable. It's about 70 minutes long too. If Tarantino paid homage to it, it'd be three hours long (and don't doubt that he hasn't watched this one).
