"The Foxbat is a mousetrap"
10 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A film of two halves, the first half sets up the situation about the photographs of the titular Foxbat and the second is the chase to find the photographs accidentally swallowed in microform by a noodle chef. The tone of the film shifts between intrigue, action and comedy and doesn't hang together well. Half the time I didn't know who was who and what was why. It was all rather confusing.

It had a good cast though. Henry Silva as heroic Saxon, Roy Chiao as evil Doctor Vod, the enchanting Vonetta McGee as Toni and Melvin Wong as the silent enforcer. The location shooting in Hong Kong was vivid and some of the combat was well staged. With all that though I thought it was pretty average.
