chrichtonsworld There were too many things wrong with this movie to give it a higher grade. I liked it to view it once, but probably will never watch it again/ Shannon Lee made an impression on me and I am not talking about her skill as a martial artist. I could not see if she really had the moves. The fights she had were edited too fast and most of the time it is obvious that she is replaced by a stuntman. I do think she is very athletic. For the most part the action she and the other actors are part of is decent, but not really special. Why did they make this movie? It is average at best. The only reason is to introduce Shannon Lee as an action star. The fights she has in the movie couldn't convince me if she is trained in martial arts like her brother and of course her father (Bruce Lee). But wikipedia does state she has studied Taekwondo, Wushu and Kickboxing. Shannon Lee seems to be adequate as an actress and is an attractive woman. Michael Wong is in this and like many of his films he is brilliantly unimpressive. I think perhaps I owe it to Corey Yuen to watch this film again. But it seems to be real hard to get a copy of this film. Once I do I will revisit this review.

pde Saw And Now You're Dead with English dubbing! Peeeuuw! stinker!the dubbing that is! But the action is quite ok. Martial Arts mixed with gun play can't be bad. Well the acting, oh boy! Shannon Lee is a very bad actress, but a great martial artist! Michael Wong acts bad as usual. But Anita Yuen is good! but misplaced in this flick.The best that can be said about this flick is: Some great action martial arts stuff, and the finale between Shannon and Benny the Jet! Boy he can still kick ass!!!!! a finale that is tough to forget. But then again when Benny enters the screen he lights up the screen. 6 out of 10.

Dave Thomas Solid Hong Kong action movie which would be less interesting but for the presence of Bruce Lee's daughter (as I'm sure she hates being introduced) Shannon. She certainly has the moves and seems to have picked up much of the charisma, plus there are a few cool visual gags which serve to point out her famous heritage (there's a really neat bit where she tears out a bad guy's hair and blows it away, much as her dad once did to Chuck Norris}. Shannon's final fight on the airship is magnificent. Well worth checking out if you can find it.

Smooth Operator I don't think most of us would tend to apply the term "must-see" to action films, but I was very impressed at how good this film was and it deservedly gets the "must-see" stamp from me.Mandy played by Shannon Lee (daughter of the late and great Bruce Lee and sister of the late Brandon Lee) is recruited by Martin, a professional thief to help pull off a diamond heist at a museum for a criminal syndicate, and get rewarded handsomely for it. Little do they know that another pair of thieves (Lucy and Tommy, a pair of lovebirds), who were spurned earlier by Mandy and Martin to get in on the deal, are also planning to steal the diamond.How each pair of thieves plans out the heist is a thrill to watch. Things go awry, as Martin and Mandy unknowingly find themselves a step behind Lucy and Tommy.You'll find yourself rooting for these thieves as they find that they need each other to stay alive from the crime syndicate, who are not happy at all that the diamond is not in its hands.Action fans will not be disappointed, as there's a healthy dose of gun battles, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat sequences.What is surprising is that, it's not just the action that carries this film, but the romance and laughs (and I don't mean your typical one-liners prevalent in action films) that sneak in.It's not easy to root for bad guys, but we get to see the human side of these thieves and the chemistry they develop.A great film and one NOT to miss!9 out of 10
