Trivia
The movie was later re-issued theatrically stateside in the USA on a double bill with Enter the Dragon (1973).

Goofs
During the fight at the bad guy's compound, one of the henchmen clobbers Leonardo with a concrete bench. The bench is obviously made out of of cardboard.

Quotes
Detective Sgt. Pam Varaje: [Pam sees Jones fighting a villager holding sticks] You are good.
Jones: Didn't think you'd notice...
Detective Sgt. Pam Varaje: I meant with your stick.
Jones: One stick is as good as the other!

Mid-period Jim Kelly for non-discriminating fans only

This film isn't as good as earlier Kelly flicks like ENTER THE DRAGON and THREE THE HARD WAY and also not as deliriously bad as later films like Al Adamson's BLACK SAMURAI and DEATH DIMENSION. This film does have some good fight choreography but is bogged down by slapstick comedy and goofy sound effects. Was this film meant to be a parody or was it an accident?
