Eastern Condors (1987) **
Basically a Hong Kong remake of "The Dirty Dozen", with half a dozen hard-core criminals sent on dangerous military mission to Vietnam. Any film starring Samo Hung and Yuen Biao promises major kung-fu ass-kicking, but this one delivers memorable chop-socky goodies only in the last 10 minutes. Until then, it's just a boring, Rambo-like, jungle war movie, with plenty of gunfights and explosions.
