    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The car Jim Kelly's character drives is a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. Since the license plate is shown on screen in the film and reads "JIM KEL", it may have been Jim Kelly's personal car.
    • Goofs
      When Sands is fighting Bone at the end the over-dubbing is never in sync. Neither of their mouths are moving at the right time, and the voices were obviously dubbed in later.
    • Quotes
      • Robert Sand: Surprise Monkeys!
    • Alternate versions
      A censored version exists with all the swearing and nudity edited out of the film.
