Historia

The female martial artist and action actress better known to Western audiences as Yukari Oshima has so far appeared in over 60 Chinese and Filipino films released between 1986 and 1999. Despite being a Japanese national, Yukari has acted in only one Japanese movie, cast as a radio reporter in a special guest appearance. After living and working in the Philippines for a number of years, Yukari returned to Japan and began working in tourism. Her screen legacy of fight scenes are among the most spectacular of all of Asian action cinema. Yukari performed her own action scenes without doubles and actively sought out the forceful reality of full-contact Hong Kong movies as a showcase for her own physical skill.

Angel the Kickboxer
It's a Godfrey Ho movie, and a rather confusing one in terms of its existence. I'm guessing he really wanted to get the most out of the footage he shot with Cynthia Rothrock, so what we got is a largely gutted (much of Honor and Glory is gone) and tweaked version of footage from Honor and Glory spliced into another movie. The whole thing ends up being a confused mess. The big difference plot-wise is that there really isn't any issue with the missile in this movie. It's some money thing that weakly connects the two movies. The big difference character-wise is that the reporter and the lackey who comes around to see his boss is corrupt are all but removed from the story. Their stories having made up the bulk of Honor and Glory. We also get more time with Robin Shou. He's seems to be in both movies. I'm not sure how that all worked out.
