Why are yetis the only creatures prefixed by abominable? It’s a great word and more should make use use of it.
I’ve never seen this until now, believe it not, and it’s somewhat of a cipher when it comes to the chinese tomb raider genre. Greg was right with his initial review but misses the prc angle, this was a major precursor to China co-productions plus it was from the Badlands team of Miller & Gough, who I’ve interviewed a few times now. Beyond Jet & Michelle, it has the mighty Anthony Wong (I forgot Rachel was in the original) so the China cast is strong. And if you reverse it to the mandarin & subtitle the English, it works better. It did well in prc for 11 years ago, arguably an early crossover success. And Ghidorah. Yetis, Ghidorah & swordfights. One could do worse. Jet’s villain phase is amusing in retrospect. And the influence on the Chinese tomb raider genre is undeniable.
