Wissenswertes
Billy Blanks' portrayal of Khan in this film has officially been mentioned (by former Capcom R&D member James Goddard) as the inspiration for the Street Fighter character Dee Jay, who made his first appearance in Super Street Fighter II.

Patzer
When Prang's dead body is thrown into the water by Khan near the end of the movie, you can see pieces of cotton wool stuck up his nose to prevent the water from entering.

Zitate
[from trailer]
Prang: What are you doing back here in Thailand?
Jake Donahue: [referring to Khan] You can help me. Teach me how to stop him.
Prang: [remembers his defeat at Khan's hands and is doubtful that he can help] What I have to offer, might not be enough.

Alternative Versionen
The UK video version was cut by 46 secs by the BBFC to remove shots of a naked woman's corpse and a man impaled by a hook, and to edit a scene where a man's face is burnt by an electric fire. The cuts were restored for the 2004 DVD.

Pretty good martial arts movie

This is another Loren Avedon movie in the same vein as the No Retreat No Surrender series.

Jake (Loren Avedon) is a narcotics officer working in New york. He's a loose cannon, but a good officer who's expert in martial arts. He gets recruited by the Interpol to go undercover in Thailand. In Thailand he's supposed to infiltrate a gang who sidelines making kung fu videos. Caviat is the kill they show on the video is not fake. The star of the video Khan (Billy Blanks) has killed Jake's brother, so the investigation is turning into a grudge match for Jake. Jake shows off his talent at a kick boxing gym. One of the man at the kick boxing gym tells Jake a man named Prang (Keith Cook) can help him get prepared to fight Khan. Jakes seeks Prang out. He asks him to train him to be ready for a fight with Khan.

Surprisingly good movie that has good story, and good visual. Loren Avedon has really become a good actor over the years, and he carries the movie as the lead character.

One of the best movie starring Loren Avedon, is recommended for viewing.
