It stars Bruce Ly, Lee Majors II, Art Camacho, Brinke Stevens and Fitz Houston. Two police officers lead a team to stop poison laced narcotics from getting on the streets. StoryThe film stars Bruce Ly as Lieutenant John Chan and Lee Majors II as Detective Warren Houston. John has the job of reforming violent police officers. He has to team up with a cop Houston who is somewhat trigger happy.[1][2] For a reason that defies explanation, drug dealers are selling poisoned cocaine. They have to work together to find the source of cocaine that has been laced with cyanide.[3][4] Their quest takes them to where the evidence points to, a secret organization which is called The Taipan. They are faced with the task of taking this organization on.[5] Tony North who is the #1 man of the cartel boss is the man responsible for the drugs being poisoned.[6][7] Along with their heavily armed assault team, they bring down the powerful organization that was behind the narcotics being sold.[8][9] Info on the filmOne of the executives in the production company for the film, Esseff/Arpaia Productions was involved with a company that made and sold mozzarella cheese. The bundles of cheese were used as stand ins for the packages of drugs. This was their second film, the first being the sci-fi film, R.O.T.O.R..[10][11][12] ReleasesIt was released on VHS by South-gate Entertainment in 1990.[13] The dvd version was released in Australia through Flashback Entertainment in or around 2000.[14] ReviewsThe Synopsis by Filmaffinity mentioned that the plot was thin it had decent martial arts action and gun fights, also mentioning the church shootout and the finale as well done action sequences.[15] The review given by Fist of B-List was a low one and recommended it only for Art Camacho completists and those who like the East-meets-West reluctant partner dynamic. It noted Fitz Houston's performance in the film and referred to him as a cross between Predator-era Carl Weathers with muscles and great polo shirts and Norman Smiley, a former pro-wrestler.[16] Comeuppance Reviews said that in spite of the amateurish qualities, there was a lot to like about the movie. It was ideal for action fans who don't take themselves too seriously.[17] Cast (listed alphabetically)
