Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Borrowing wholesale from the Sean Connery vehicle Outland, Lo Kin directs this rare Hong Kong sci-fi flick. Set in the mid-21st century, the film centers on Sum Ying-mo (Austin Wai Tin-chi), a kung-fu master and secret agent assigned to undercover work in the remote space mining outfit Cosmos IV, where labors are forced to imbibe an addictive drug that improves workplace efficiency. It also tends to cause space madness. Sum is eventually hired as security chief of the operation and soon allies himself with beautiful Eurasian scientist Jo Jo (Deborah Sims), who is forced to make the drug. Zero-G butt kicking ensues.
