SYNOPSIS: Our hero's brother disappears while in the employ of a ruthless criminal cartel. She (Tina Long) is approached by the secret government agency that he really worked for, and investigates, only to discover the horrible truth(s).
The criminals are cooking heroin into wigs, and exporting them out of the country!
Her brother was betrayed by her uncle!
Her brother is not dead!
Whoops! Now the crime boss has killed him after all!
The climactic fight scene involves rubber squeaky bats!
Rubber!
Squeaky!
Bats!

As you can see, my memory of the film is more a sequence of impressions than anything coherent ... or wait, maybe that was the movie itself.

"Wanna Run That By Me Again?"

The Philosophy of Who-What-Huh? The philosophy of Shorinji is a truly complex matter, involing harmony between yourself and others, the unity of power and love, the meeting of strength and spirit. "To love is the true goal," the Shorinji master assures us. It's the first martial art school I have ever seen in a film whose goal is "to cultivate a spirit of compromise." Are you sure that isn't a mistranslation?
