The soldiers of get some well deserved leave. Gerber and Fetterman join reporter Morrow in Hong Kong, only to be subject to assassination attempts by the Chinese officer that has been plotting against them. When Morrow is kidnapped, Gerber calls in the rest of the soldiers from their vacations to mount a rescue mission.
The finale is a raid on a Victorian mansion in suburban Hong Kong, the set up to a hundred HK action movie scenes. Add to that Fetterman jumping around, a pistol in each hand, and I find it hard to believe this came out only four months after A Better Tomorrow. I know there were shootout movies prior to that, but this hits on so many Heroic Bloodshed elements that weren't common at the time.
