Have to agree with you there Wooch. He wasn’t convincing in that role for me either. I am a big fan of Asian Kung Fu and Karate movies, and always thought what was the point of Kung Fu TV series if the lead actor is not Asian.

He was much better actor in American action movies such as Cannonball. One of the best cross country race movie.
