Jackie Chong
Alguns dos maiores astros dos filmes de artes marciais estão nessa divertida produção que explora o gênero conhecido como Mock-umentary, ou seja, um documentário falso, feito mais como uma ficção para divertir do que para mostrar a própria realidade. Conta a história de um ator que já estrelou diversas produções de baixo orçamento de artes marciais, mas que sonha em se tornar um grande astro de filmes de ação. Ninguém o conhece, a não ser um amigo. Ele tema idéia de gravar um documentário sobre o ator para tentar mostrar ao mundo quem ele é e assim alavancar a sua carreira na indústria cinematográfica. A partir dessa história, os dois se envolvem em um projeto para realizar um grande filme, mesmo que Hollywood não aceite bancar a produção. Uma boa oportunidade para dar ótimas risadas em um filme sobre artes marciais que ao mesmo tempo satiriza produções desse linha de uma forma original e esperta.

Robin
Quando um psicopata mata sua irmã, a garçonete Kristi Jones (Cynthia Rothrock) adepta das artes marciais, decide procurar o assassino, envolvendo-se numa perigosa caçada.
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.
