Has a lot of that hokey Hong Kong comedy jazz that drags the focus away from Yeoh & Rothrock far too often. But hot damn, when this thing HITS! The final twenty minutes are such a fire of fists and feet, limb-breaking stunts, microfilm madness, and that over-the-top bad dude with his mocking little laugh eating shit in the most delicious fashion! It's easy to forget about the missteps when blazing so hard across the finish line.
I came *this close*โฆ
Nuclear annihilation and the grizzled grit of a dusty old detective novel, combined into a music video motif riding high off the 80s cheese excess. An eclectic mix, but man, it really jams! Phillip and Marlowe are just such a cool and corny duo. Aimlessly wandering the wastes with an innocent whimsy, smooth talking freaks 'n' geeks galore. Good action, high energy, a fun watch.
Major Fallout vibes as well. I always thought A Boy and His Dog was theโฆ

Punish... Punish... PUNISH!
Hey nuns, maybe the kid who watched his parents get butchered by Santa, shouldn't be a part of Christmas arts and crafts, just sayin'. What do you expect... Poor Billy, first his parents get sliced up, then he gets stuck with a bunch of nuns, beaten with a belt, tied to a bed, and gets made to sit on Santa's lap! I can almost sympathize with him... almost. Killing Linnea Quigley was crossing the line though! Totallyโฆ
