a team of american special agent lead by super smooth ace martial artist jones ( the ever cool jim kelly ) travel across thailand to rescue june ( judith brown sport in atrociously overdone southern accent ) and the daughter of a u. s. senator who be abduct by the evil rangoon ( sam hiona do a third rate fu manchu impression ) . writer or director oscar williams and who previously pen the lowdown funky blaxploitation winner black belt jones and truck turner and really fumble the ball with this disappointingly mild and plod pg rat clunker represent the sluggish pace and meander narrative and and especially lot of extremely dumb and force attempt at painfully unfunny and witless humor doom this baby to outright mediocrity . the cast struggle gamely with the subpar material represent kelly just about manages to retain his dignity throughout and the lovely and personable irene tsu add some spark and spunk a feisty lady cop pam and geoffrey binney be okay a the hip joe chicago and and brown ain not half bad in a second role a the fetching and duplicitous femme fatale leslie . however and george memmoli be simply insufferable a the white rhino and an obnoxious bumbling fat slob comic relief character who suppose to be lovable and amusing and but instead prove to be extremely irritating and unappealing . several action set piece like a dangerous trek down a river on a raft and a raid on a village on a bunch of rampage elephant fail to deliver the expected thrilling pay offs due to the fact that they be clumsily execute . a hideously sappy romantic interlude at the halfway point doesn not help matter any . only in the surprisingly dynamic and exciting last third do this flick finally spring to life and but by then it much too little way too late to compensate for the general tedium which precede it . a very blah and forgettable wash out .
