Honor and Glory (1993)

Completely incomprehensible martial arts nonsense. The trigger from a nuclear weapon is stolen in Russia (although apparently it looks a lot like a Bulgarian dildo) and for some reason corrupt banker Jason Slade (John Miller) has it and is trying to sell it to the Arabs. Two sisters are investigating Slade, FBI agent Tracey (Cynthia Rothrock) and reporter Joyce (Donna Jason). Their Dad is a CIA agent (Leo Rocca) is also after Slade.

Meanwhile Slade's bodyguard Jake Armstrong (Chuck Jeffreys) decides to switch sides. Then a HK agent Dragon Lee (Robin Shou) and a Japanese assassin (Richard Yuen) get involved in this unholy mess. Which ends up in a massive fight in a warehouse.

These films seldom make sense but Honor & Glory takes this to a whole new level. It mostly consists of fairly random segments and plot lines that never get resolved. The film is fun, the fights are often good though lame attempts at plot get in the way a bit. A rare case of a film which needed more fighting and less storyline.
