"Adoption Agent: But the point is, we establish criteria for parenting, and an ex-convict compared to other desirables...
Frank: Great, so we'll take a kid that's not so desirable. You got a black kid? We'll take a black kid. You got a chink kid?
Adoption Agent:You don't seem to understand...
Frank: Nobody likes older kids. You got an eight-year old black chink kid, we'll take him."
Michael Mann's first feature and a good one at that.
I think you'll dig it. It's a good revenge-style SB movie. Lot of set changes and large-cast fights, which gives it more production value than much of their 70s stuff (not that I don't like that stuff, obviously). Funny enough Gordon Liu has hair at the beginning (they quickly make an excuse to shave him) and I didn't recognize him at first!
Since it wasn't you, it was probably Tazer.
