Dragon)

ACCESS: video only

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Daniel Greene plays Paco, a cyborg assassin who was
raised and trained to kill a popular scientist. he proves to be too human,
however, and holds himself back, only wounding the man. it's then that finds
himself hunted not only by the authorities but also by his creators who want
to cover up their involvement in the assassination plot.

SCISSORS SCENE: Paco has taken refuge in a roadside motel run by his love
interest, Linda. a biker and his longlegged blonde biker chick arrive at the
hotel and ask for a room. they trick Linda into going into their room and then
force her to scream so they can ambush Paco. he burst into the room through
the window and a deadly shootout ensues. the biker is killed and Paco and both
women are wounded. thinking the biker chick was killed Paco and Linda are
about to flee when she screeches and flings herself on him. we see now that
she is a cyborg using steel fingernails to rake him with. he pushes her away
and they square off. her eyes glow red and she hisses, "i am the perfect
cyborg and i've come to kill the traitor." she attempts several martial arts
kicks which he blocks. after a long cutaway to other assassins arriving we
come back to see her skillfully landing kicks and punches, battering the much
bigger, heavier man about the room. she flips him onto the bed and pounces on
him, trying to tear his throat out with her nails. he manages to pry her hands
off of his neck and toss her off of the bed. he tries to stomp her but misses.
as she is lying on her back he bends down and grabs both of her wrists,
neutralising her nails. she snakes her legs up between his arms and crosses
her legs, catching his neck between her ankles. he squirms and she twists his
head from one side to the other before sending him flying with her last twist.
there is yet another cutaway here as Linda starts shooting at the other
assassins. when they cut back we see that Paco has her in a full nelson and
she is struggling to escape. as Linda runs out of ammo and screams for help
Paco tears her cyborg head off and drops it on the floor. when they are about
to flee the disembodied head says, "they will destroy you!"

POSITIVES: great setup, terrific energy by all of those involved. good camera
work, good lighting, and excellent special effects. this was a really
outstanding fight.

NEGATIVES: the scissors could have been longer but not better executed.

OVERALL RATING: ***
