Featured reviews
I have seen virtually all of Cynthia Rothrock's films, and to me this is the funniest. It reminds me of early Jackie Chan movies. Admittedly, Ms Rothrock may not be the greatest actress, but she is very good to watch as both a martial artist and as a very cute young lady. This film, while probably not the best of all her films, was the most entertaining.
Found reference to this movie on YouTube and just had to check it out, so glad I did too.
So yeah, this movie has some similar aspects to the Golden Child and I am a fan of that movie, but I think this beats it in both comedy and action.
If you like great kung fu action with old school Hong Kong/Chinese movie comedy, then this is the movie for you. Please don't miss out on this gem of a movie.
I love these types of movies, so for me it's an easy 7.5/10
While this movie is not a classic, nor is it even on my top 50 martial arts films of all times, comparing it to Kung Pow seems ridiculous. It is a Hong Kong style martial arts film, with strong doses of mystical Buddah- like powers thrown in. I do not recommend it to any except hard-core martial arts fans. It is good for laughs, and as with almost any Cynthia Rothrock film, you are sure to see a lot of high energy, well executed action sequences. If you really liked this film, rent "Tiger Claws 3". But really want to see a kung fu film that is not silly, watch "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" or "Legend of the Drunken Master" Note that a lot of martial arts films titles are purposely similar, so do not mistake these films for "Tiger Claws 1 or 2" or "Drunken Master"
This is the worst piece of crap I have seen recently. There is nothing good about this movie. The plot is plain stupid, dialogs don't make any sense, humorous scenes never heard anything about the real humor. Actors just don't play, the worse they don't even try. The script itself is somewhat which is in the same league with Ed Wood and Uwe Boll. There is only one good thing in this flick, the fights. They are well choreographed as one would expect of the Hong Kong guys, and are the only reason to watch Prince of the Sun. Although I believe the fights are just supposed to fill the empty space so that the screenwriter didn't have to bother thinking about the storyline. However, this weak and absurd plot may prevent you from watching it to the end. Avoid it unless you are fan of the dragon lady Cynthia Rothrock.
This movie has its moments. There are some extraordinary fight scenes that involves Cynthia Rothrock. The fight between Conan Lee and Sheila Chan is hilarious. Besides the fights , the story is lame and the dialogue through the film is shockingly bad. There are a few good actors in this like Cynthia Rothrock, Jeffrey Falcon or Ching-Ying Lam. There is a lot of cheesy Hong Kong humor to sit through unfortunately. But fortunately the movie has better fights than any US movie Cynthia Rothrock has done so far. So this one i recommend just to Cynthia Rothrock fans (maybe). I didn't saw the Hong Kong Laserdisc which runs with 6 minutes longer. At least is better than Triple Cross or The Hostage (the US movies starring Cynthia Rothrock).

- TriviaDuring production, the filmmakers spent so much time creating comedy scenarios for Conan Lee and Sheila Chan that they almost completely forgot about Cynthia Rothrock, who spent much of her time sitting around the set. Upon realizing that Rothrock was due to leave the country within a few days, the filmmakers completely shifted the production to filming scenes for her, including several action scenes.
