Review Overview:
The review critiques the film's poor production quality, attributing it to director Bob Kirk's incompetence. While the premise of a female super spy is appealing, the execution is deemed subpar. The film opens with Jane in bed, accompanied by a rendition of the James Bond theme, before receiving her assignment. She travels to Hong Kong to confront Madame Lee about the smuggling operation. The review highlights several issues, including the unconvincing portrayal of Chinatown as Hong Kong and the casting choices, which included black actors in Asian roles. The narrative is criticized for its lack of coherence and the film culminates in a poorly filmed orgy scene accompanied by uninspiring music. The story concludes with a twist, revealing Jane's partner as a villain, leading to a confrontation. The film's quality is rated as decent, though it suffers from some visual artifacts.
