Russian mobsters have stolen a computer disk which will allow them to print money, and have hijacked a truck containing blank currency paper. Unfortunately for the mobsters the disk is accidentally slipped into the possession of Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee). Desperate to get the disk back, the mobsters kidnap Tommy's daughter, and in order to rescue his child Tommy must face deadly temptresses, high- tech gadgets and an array of explosive weaponry.
This shouldn't have been called Best of the best. Most people criticise this one because it's alien to the first two in the series. If it was just called 'without Warning', and Philip Rhee played a stand-alone character I am sure this lively and exciting actioner would get much more respect. It's fast-paced, has good production values, exciting car and motorcycle chases, helicopter stunts and some great hand to hand combat with Rhee taking on the bad guys with ease. The attack in Rhee's home and the Russians in the dojo are standout scene. The latter features some cool stick fighting and epee work. The finale with the cargo plane harks back to the grand 80's films. The sense of excitement never falters. There's great villainy, and Rhees makes a likeable and charismatic hero; it baffles me why he wasn't a big star.
