Quiz
According to director Terence H. Winkless, the original script had Don Wilson's character training by running up stairs of a temple. When he arrived in the Philippines to begin shooting no temple could be found. A live volcano was nearby so he changed the script to have the character training by running up a live volcano as it would make an interesting replacement for the temple.

Citazioni
Kwong: I trained you well.

Curiosità sui crediti
The first four credits that appear on the screen are world championship kickboxers, and under their names are the honors/awards they received.

Versioni alternative
German version was cut for plot reasons by 32.5 seconds. This was probably so it can get a "not under 18" rating, but nonetheless it was indexed from 1991-2016. Only in 2024 was the uncut version granted a "not under 18" rating and will be released on Blu-ray by Shamrock Media/Cargo Records.

Not quite a thrilla in Mannila, but enjoyable in its own way

After his brother, Mike, is murdered in Manila, Jake (Don Wilson) travels down there to claim the body and must use his kick-boxing expertise to deal with the local highly-trained hooligans that had to do with his brother's untimely demise. He meets and stays with Baby and his sister Nancy (Riley Bowman)

If there's one fatal flaw with the film, I mean aside from the mediocre fight scenes, is the character of Baby, he's awful and brings the otherwise enjoyable , if not particularly good in the conventional sense of the word, don whenever he's on-screen. The writer of this is currently having fairly good fortune with hit TV show "The Good Wife", so the dues he paid were worth it, I kind of doubt he keeps this one on his resume though. Furthermore, 'The Dragon' would thankfully grow as an actor later in his career. I still hold a (unexplainable) soft spot for this film though.

Eye Candy: Riley Bowman and an extra get topless
