Plot

Investigating the mysterious death of a colleague, LAPD cops Sean Thompson, who is now a detective (and Jeff Wincott), 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

The film made its world debut at the American Film Market in October 1991, but would eventually be released in the United States only on home video. In the Philippines, where Rothrock was already an A-list star, the film opened in early January 1992, exhibited in Manila theaters as a "super roadshow presentation".[2] The film 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.
