“Yet another Gofrey Ho film that defies logic, gives the finger to common sense, farts in a bag and releases it into the face of good taste, and mails a turd to folks who donu0026#39;t like to be confused. Here, Godfrey Ho-Ho-Ho gives us Majestic Thunderbolt, the most violent cut-n-paste film Iu0026#39;ve seen from him yet.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRichard Harrison and his moustache get off a plane with some diamonds and immediately get robbed by Philip Ko and friends. The diamonds belong to Mr Franco (Played by Phil Lynnot of Thin Lizzy)who is battling rival gang run by Tiger Chan. When Francou0026#39;s men kill Richardu0026#39;s girlfriend, and also kill the brother of Alan Chan, itu0026#39;s vendetta city with a side order of u0026quot;This is actually two films spliced together badlyu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRather than give myself a nosebleed by describing the plot, here a list of what goes on in this film. Harrison tracks down Ko (sometimes on roller skates with a baseball bat) while Ko paints a nude woman before drinking her blood for some reason. Mr Franco poisons people while watching synchronised swimming and harpoons fish that hang from strings. Alan Chan kills loads of folks in various ways (exploding toilets, acid showers, falling chandeliers), while one character manages to remain hidden for almost the entire film before revealing himself. Also, one guy gets shot about seventy times and even melons canu0026#39;t escape the carnage.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThrow in a lot (and I mean A LOT) of violence, uncomfortable misogyny, uncomfortable animal cruelty (it loses a point for those), and youu0026#39;ve got one of the most u0026quot;excitingu0026quot; and u0026quot;action packedu0026quot; u0026quot;filmsu0026quot; that Godfreyu0026#39;s delivered into the world from his bizarre, film making womb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAye.”
