This review is from: The Shadow Killers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

But still fun, if you're in the mood or are a fan of the genre.

Basically, the background story is about rival gangs in (then-)contemporary Hong Kong (I think? I could be wrong), fighting over turf, while the main character is trying to track down a rare piece of yellow jade (I did not know that there was such a thing - well, live and learn) that his father allegedly stole and did time for.

Highlights include some 'comical' fighting (including some REALLY poorly timed fake punches); super-crummy dubbing (so bad it's funny); a pretty cool climactic bus chase that ends in a great ball o' fire; and a supporting actress who doffs her top early on to reveal an astonishing rack (that's pretty clearly not fake).
