Fatal Termination
I finally was able to locate this movie that I
have wanted to see since I read the review in Sex & Zen & Bullet
in the Head. This is the one that has Moon Lee's little daughter hanging
out the window of a car as it speeds down some streets in HK. It's simply
amazing. When I read the review I thought - well somehow they faked it.
If they did, I sure did not see how. It really is this little 5 year old
girl in her pink tutu hanging out this car window as it dodges cars and
there is Moon Lee on the front of the car trying to rescue her daughter
by smashing through the front windshield. Who were the parents that allowed
this? They must have been nuts or had a hell of an insurance policy on
her. An incredibly intense scene as is the entire last 40 minutes of this
movie. Also has Simon Yam (but then what movie doesn't?) and Robin Shou.
Worth watching for this scene alone, but the
rest of the movie is decent as well. It is about some weapons being smuggled
in with the assistance of a corrupt Customs officer (Robin Shou) and being
investigated by Simon Yam. Lots of good guys & bad guys and none of
them trusting each other makes for an interesting mix of a movie. The Arab
terrorists were absurdly dressed in outfits that must have been gotten
cheaply from some wardrobe from another movie - perhaps Sabu. Moon is in
the background for much of the movie playing the wife of a cop, but once
her daughter is kidnapped - she gets into fighting mode in a big way.
