| Dragon Princess (1981) Cast:Sue Shiomi, Sonny Chiba Sonny Chiba is blinded in combat by a group of thugs in front of his daughter and is told to leave Japan at once. He does so and after dying rom some type of ailment, his daughter (Shiomi) uses her father's skills to avenge him in this silly but also boring kung fu flick. Once again I think Sue Shiomi is a great presence, she's like a Cynthia Rothrock with fast moves and great looks but for some reason they take so long to get in her action. The movie is so lacking in martial arts action one wonders who this was made for.. The characters are one-note, the directing is blah and the story is cliched and predictable, but what really kills this movie is just how little action there is and how boring it is to sit through. Also Sonny Chiba fans will be royally disappointed by the lack of screen time he has here. D.Kazuhiko Yamaghuchi* |
