Reception
editThe Kung Fu action site 24 Frames per Second gave the film a poor review, criticizing the script, the "coma inducing" David Carradine, as well as Daryl Hannah's singing ability.[2] Moviefone called it "a rather unfortunate tribute".[3] Beyond Hollywood, however, praises Daryl Hannah, but criticizes the overall film as "boring".[4]
