American actress Deborah Dutch's first role. She was 17. She said in an interview that her manager sent her to Jun Chong's martial arts school in Los Angeles to where she and several other young actresses met with Chong. Dutch said Chong didn't even look at the other actresses after he spotted her because he loved her striking blue-green eyes. He invited her to dinner at a Korean restaurant that night to meet with him and people from the production company. At the end of the evening, they told her she had the part and she started filming the next day.
The movie was a huge success overseas and made Deborah Dutch an international star, but she had no idea because she was so focused on trying to get roles in the U.S. Then the production company offered her a five-picture deal, but she turned it down because making the movie exhausted her. She was constantly on the go for three months and had to do her own intense stunts and fights. She said doing another five movies would have killed her. Her manager was so upset that he dropped her.
