Synopsis

Investigating the mysterious death of a colleague, LAPD cops Sean Thompson, who is now a detective, and "Billie" Blake begin to uncover a deadly ring of murder and corruption. Their search leads to a nightclub, where the rich and powerful are entertained by a stable of beautiful girls and protected by martial arts experts hired by a ruthless crime lord. When Thompson is called off the investigation by his commander, Billie goes undercover and infiltrates the ring on her own; soon, both are facing impossible odds in a climactic battle.

Release dates

The film made its world debut at the American Film Market in October 1991, but would eventually see wide release in the United States only on home video. In the Philippines, where Rothrock was already an A-list star, the film opened in January 1992, exhibited in Manila theaters as a "super roadshow presentation" with tickets priced at P 14 for orchestra seats and P 18 for the balcony.[2] The movie would be released on videocassette in August 1992 by MCA/Universal Home Video. The film was released on DVD in Europe, by Bellevue Entertainment. It is part of a movie package that also contains Savate, Martial Law and Mission of Justice, but the film has yet to arrive onto DVD in the United States.
