When a terminal batch of poison-laced drugs hits the streets like a deadly white hurricane, it will take just two of the hardest hitting street savvy cops to fight back, and Chan (Bruce ly) and no less bellicose partner, Houston (Lee Majors II) are generously over-endowed with more than enough Gunhappy chutzpah and righteously steel thewed Kung Fu fury to take on the murderous criminal cartels than have so little regard for human life!
After a wicked sleazy photographer toots his terminal toot we observe Lee 'I'll backdoor this scum' Majors II unflinchingly take down heavily armed Chicano gang bangers with extreme prejudice, coldly culling them like some skell excising, stonewashed jean-clad surgeon! With cerebral, Chan and hot-headed Houston bustin' heads and kickin' down doors, this Zen, martial arts cop and his retrograde, pistol packin' partner soon discover that the source of all this toxic gear is strongly linked to Hong (William Ghent) evil, Machiavellian kingpin of Chinatown and one of the major importers of drugs.
Infrequently recalled these days 'Chinatown Connection' is a rumbustious mismatched cop actioner that is ably festooned with plentifully roustabout scenes of gung ho action, amusingly generic chitchat, no less prototypical, bullet-ready thugs, and while it occasionally lags it's certainly not without some exhilaratingly thick eared fight-flick charm! Lee Majors II is a handsome, round housing pug, and his partner, master pugilist, Bruce Ly gets the girl, Missy, none other than super B-Movie princess Brinke Stevens! Ouellette's 'Chinatown Connection' excitingly concludes with a resolutely grand chop-sockingly crazy finale betwixt sensei, Chan and mean alpha dog thug Tony (Fitz Houston), with additional B-Movie bonus points earned for arbitrary usage of a home-invading Ninja! Right on!!!!
You could superglue, Arnie, Stallone and, Statham together and this pair of ill-matched righteously enraged, justice-seeking, dope-dealer destroying, hellaciously hardcore cops would power through those old Hollywood lags like overripe cheese! Capable filmmaker, Jean-Paul Ouellette has produced a solid low budget action-fest that deserves more love, with additional B-Movie bonus points earned for arbitrary usage of a home-invading Ninja! Right on!!!!!!! And heroically handsome moustache-wearing Majors II is one honey sweet slice of sugary man-cake, and I can imagine there are a goodly many ladies and no less goodly gentlemen who would like to see more of him, if ya' know what I mean?????? AROOOOOOOO!!!!!!
'The Kung Fu Squad rules, dude!'
