Rothrock was the best in this with her fights,acting and outfit alongside with Bolo Yeung , but she wasn't the lead, Merhi was. The problem with that was, Rothrock had all the experience and was better equipped to lead a movie and at the end of the movie it was more than OK if Rothrock had been finished Bolo in a combat fight.If Jean-Claude van Damme or even Richard Norton had been the lead male in this movie then this film had been a classic.Jalal Merhi was very awful in this unfortunately but the movie was enjoyable enough though but would have been a lot better. So i recommend you this film and if you are a Cynthia Rothrock fan you'll not be disappointed.

Tiger Claws is one of the lesser known Rothrock movies and that is no bad thing, it is a pretty decent entry into the old school Martial Arts canon. Cynthia made a few stronger themed movies around 1991/1992 and this is one of them, the inclusion of Bolo is good, who himself featured in a few films also around that period. The storyline is good in that it goes some way to explaining Tiger style Kung Fu - instead of just being a cop after a villain style with Martial Arts thrown in, which was an element of her earlier work. Also some of the fight scenes are pretty decent, with Rothrock herself impressive as always. Well worth a watch, however as of 2010,this title is not yet available on DVD.

I was searching for this movie for some time now, and i finally got to see it. Some psychotic martial-artist (Bolo Yeung) kills other martial artists with a rare Tiger Claw fighting style. Police detectives Linda Masterson(Cynthia Rothrock) and Tarek Richards (Jalal Merhi) who are also martial-artists, try to stop him. That is pretty much all i can say about the plot.Throughout the movie Rothrock and Merhi are searching for Bolo, and it gets boring. Actually i wanted to see this only because of Bolo Yeung, and i wasn't disappointed. Although all the killings occur behind the camera, in the end Bolo really shows why he's considered one of the great martial artist worldwide. There are couple of good fights, especially the one with Bolo Yeung kicking the hell out of Cynthia Rothrock. The ending fight between Bolo and Jalal Merhi is somewhat believable, but its not enough to save the movie. However if u're a fan of Bolo Yeung, i highly recommend this action flick. PS: Bolo was 54 when this movie came out. Keep that in mind, and watch his fights.

I honestly feel bad for the people who made this movie. You can tell that they take themselves seriously and are hoping something decent will come of their efforts.Unfortunately for all involved, including the viewer, all we're left with is an embarrassing excuse of a movie. I won't get into the plot - there's really no sense. As you can imagine, there's a bad guy, some good guys and a lot of kicking. The only interesting twist in this one is that the star is a woman, and she actually has some pretty decent moves, I guess. Her acting, if you can call it that, is beyond horrific, even for martial arts movies, and she doesn't have much of a supporting cast to help her out either.Even if you are a martial arts movie fan, stay away from this mess. My girlfriend walked in the room when I was watching it and it literally took twenty minutes of viewing to convince her that I wasn't watching a porno. I'm not sure she's convinced to this day.
