Audience Member Following Robin Shou's then new-founded fame in America for his role in "Mortal Kombat", viewers had a chance to become familiar the World-Class martial arts champion in many Hong Kong action films he's appeared in since the late '80s. "Interpol Connection" was a relatively-unknown cop-fu film that used a mixed bag of drama, comedy, Heroic Bloodshed gunplay and martial arts, patched together like short stories from a documentary. Despite the flaws, the martial arts action, choreographed by legendary Wushu expert/action choreographer Dion Lam (The Matrix Trilogy, Black Mask, Exit Wounds, Spider-Man 2, The Promise), was the savior of this movie. Robin Shou and co-star, Japanese martial arts queen Yukari Oshima (Shanghai Express, Legendary Amazons) deliver some fight power. Robin has the strength of an athlete and the kicking power of a kickboxer while Yukari uses incredible speed & flexibility of an acrobat and weaponry of a Shaolin warrior. Director and veteran martial arts actor Phillip Ko Fei (also the film's main villain) has established himself as a prolific filmmaker in independent Taiwanese and Hong Kong productions but this one wasn't his best work. However, Dion Lam's choreography shined Robin and Oshima's diverse martial arts skills and the presentation of the fight sequences evolved a great quality to give fans something to watch without being too discouraged by the poor aspects of the film.
