Taking a good look at Sword Of Honor I wondered why everyone sounded so
strange in a film set in Las Vegas. Answer, this was an Australian film set in
America's sin capital and all you see of Vegas are establishing shots.
Steven Vincent Leigh and Jeff Pruitt are a pair of martial art skilled detectives who catch a case involving an Oriental artifact. It's a sword from the Ming period enabling the Mings to overthrow the Mongols who ran things in China for a few hundred years. It is endowed so the legend says with mystical powers kind of like Excalibur and always is with a winner.
Anyway it's stolen by some Las Vegas crooks and Leigh and Pruitt are assigned to the theft. But they run into some folks who have guns and Pruitt forgets to put on his bullet proof vest. Guess he didn't see Madigan and what happened to Richard Widmark.
Joined for a bit by the equally martial arts skilled Sophia Crawford for a bit, Leigh has his mission and even has to fight crooked cops to accomplish it. Along the way we see lots of martial arts action, almost like a Chuck Norris film.
Martial arts fans will love it, others, don't really bother.
