White Tiger - Operazione Tigre

Sure, the story is recycled from lots of other movies, but there are a few things that make this worth a look. Gary Daniels makes a cool hero. The fights scenes are good. The only problem is they are spaced too far apart and there are not enough of them. The climax on the boat is cool though. Worth a least a rent.

After his partner, and best friend (Matt Craven) is brutally gunned down by vicious drug lord Victor (Cary Tagawa), initially straight-shooting DEA agent Mike (Gary Daniels) goes rogue seeking revenge, by any means necessary! Richard Martin's exciting Heroic Bloodshed-inflected DTV punch-fighter rewardingly delivers the explosive gun-happy goods! Amiable, good-looking martial artist Gary Daniels is on excitingly agile form in this punchy, fight-packed 90s DTV actioner. I never quite understood why the muscular, fleet-footed Gary Daniels didn't become a much bigger star, as his more than credible CV features some thrillingly action-loaded bangers! A rightfully popular actioner, White Tiger is another knockout hit from this handsome, blue-eyed, hard-hitting Brit!

Probably a notch above for straight-to-video martial arts flicks, thanks to above-average production values, key casting of Cary Tagawa as the villain and the beefcake charm of Daniels, who flexes his physique plentifully for his fans in this one. At least you get what you pay for here.

"White Tiger" is a solid martial arts thriller starring Gary Daniels. Out to avenge the murder of his best friend and partner, DEA-cop Gary Daniels gets hot on the tracks of Chinese drug-lord Chow. He busts and kicks his way through Chinatown and gets kicked around a lot, until he meats a beautiful woman who is the only person to help him. Well, the show down is a bit disappointing, but the fight scenes are better than in numerous other movies of the kind. Julia Nickson plays her sensual, erotic and sympathetic part excellently, and I enjoyed the movie. I've seen many better ones but a lot worse ones. 90 minutes of solid martial arts entertainment.

Gary got to choreograph his own fight scenes this time and the results are spectacular. Also because he has dependable genre stalwart Cary Hiroyaki-Tagawa, who just seems to get better as he gets older, as his enemy. The latter gives a chilling performance as a perverted drug king who, against the orders of the Triad elders, introduces a deadly designer drug to the market. The fight sequences between the two in the drug lord's house and on his ship are riveting. This is the best Gary Daniels movie I have seen (along with Gedo), with a solid plot, a great villain and, best of all, the opportunity for Gary to really strut his stuff. Hugely entertaining - a must-see.
