An Angela Mao kung-fu classic from the heyday of the genre
Eureka Entertainment blu ray release of WHEN TAEKWONDO STRIKES, a fast-paced fight-filled martial arts classic, starring Angela Mao and an incredible array of talent from the genre.
Queen of Kung Fu Angela Mao and King of Taekwondo Jhoon Rhee join forces in this action-packed Hong Kong classic!
In Japanese occupied Korea, resistance leader Lee (Rhee) is captured by the Japanese occupying forces. To rescue him, his pupil Jin (Carter Wong, The Skyhawk) must get help from a Hapkido expert (Mao).
