Haha! Yeah, I'm aware of Harrison's claim. I don't give too much credence to it though. He was doing Z-grade Italian genre movies before his stint in Hong Kong, so he didn't exactly have the best reputation to begin with. SE-Asian schlock is the last refuge for established actors whose careers are on the downturn.

It's seems like more money went to the pyrotechnics. ;)

Entertaining, in a low-key sort of way. It's definitely not as engrossing as the movies it rips off.

It's not Queen's Brian May. ;)

This one's a bit more higher budget than the stuff that I usually post, but compared to the movies it rips off (Raiders, Romancing the Stone, The Final Countdown), this Aussie co-production is lowbudget.
