First of all, my gratefullness to Yasuaki Kurata, Tadashi Yamashita, Poon Kin-Kwan and Director Yueh-Ting Men for this treasure. This movie is truly amazing, especially considering the era in which it was filmed. It's crucial to clarify that the entire film was shot in the Dominican Republic, not Dominica (two distinct countries with different languages). The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, shared with Haiti and divided by a border. It's baffling that many in Asia confuse the Dominican Republic with Dominica, but it's important to set the record straight. I had the privilege of witnessing one of the fight scenes as a 6-year-old child, and it left a lasting impression on me. Even now, watching the entire movie feels like stepping into a time machine back to the 1970s of my childhood in my country. I highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys Asian martial arts movies and also to Dominicans interested in reliving that era and the past. Luis Cancio
