Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCynthia Rothrock accidentally injured Richard Norton during the filming a fight scene involving weapons, resulting in a small scar on his forehead.
- GoofsWhenever there are crowds of people in the Greece scenes you can see that several of them look towards the camera and crew. (Like many Hong Kong movies of this era, these scenes were shot without permits, so it is likely that those people were not hired extras, but were genuine tourists and visitors who just happened to be there at the time of filming.)

Ice cream or Siberia
Here we go again on an action adventure with breath-taking speed. An alien artifact is discovered in Greece, taken to Hong Kong, and everybody tries to get hands on it, while a little boy discovers the crystal contains an alien talking to him. Sometimes it happily provides super powers, sometimes it doesn't even talk, must be one of those WEIRD aliens, although... after it was locked into that crystal for 2000 years, it needs no excuse. Andy Lau, Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton as Russian agent Karloff (as my dubbed version calls him) deliver some spectacular fights. Even if everything is a bit incoherent and can't decide if it wants to be a kid's movie or a violent action flick, it's speedy and enjoyable, apparently even with a reasonable budget for good quality since a lot of footage was shot on location in Greece. My favorite line is Richard Norton telling the little boy: "If you co-operate, you get some ice cream. If not, you go to Siberia." Going back to school after holidays never sounded so good.
