Sometimes with a Godfrey Ho film you can't tell what is original footage and what is borrowed. This one has a basic narrative but the choppy editing is often confusing. The main premise is that a group of soldiers are tasked with rescuing two American hostages in Vietnam. It is similar to Sammo Hung's 'Eastern Condors' and John Woo's 'Heroes Don't Shed Tears' (indeed I thought I heard music 'sampled' from both those films) but this is an inferior movie to those two.
What you get here is almost continuous fighting with a few pauses for character interaction. There is probably too much fighting and not enough pauses and the ending is sudden and inconclusive. A quite average film but lively enough for me to keep watching it all.
