- TriviaThe scene in which Cynthia Rothrock jumps from the burning building while holding a baby had to be filmed many times with Rothrock performing the stunt herself while wearing high heels. The night after filming, Rothrock experienced dizziness and was taken to a hospital where a physician declared her healthy but claimed the stunt had "jumbled" her internal organs.
- GoofsThe engine noise of Cindy's Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet, when it zooms through several shots, sound far differently to the Ford CVH of the actual car, indicating that the engine noise has been dubbed over.

Featured review
Cynthia Rothrock is Cindy, an FBI agent sent undercover in Hong Kong to crack a counterfeiting ring. She pretends to be a reporter to bag the bad guy, but runs afoul of a mousy rival reporter (Mang Hoi), a cop disguised as an insurance agent (Chin Siu-Ho), and various kung-fu baddies (including Billy Chow). She also incurs the ire of the local cops, and even her pal Yu (Elizabeth Lee), who thought she was just a buddy and not an undercover law enforcer. However, all manufactured conflicts are derailed when Yu's dad (Roy Chiao), the prosecuting lawyer in the counterfeiting case, gets kidnapped. Fighting and mayhem ensues.
A couple of entertaining action sequences, such as on some bamboo scaffolding, as well as a short brawl between Rothrock and Billy Chow, are the main attraction in this fairly decent HK entry, though the pace can meander halfway and it is steeped with too much talk. This is a rare moment where Cynthia Rothrock has a starring role in a HK production and she pulls it off with ease. She has some charm, a presence and a sense of energy but it's her fighting that is really a highlight. Not remarkable, but passable.
