Mean Business (1979)
"Imbeciles! How The Hell Are We Gonna Push Drugs, Without Any Pushers?!"
18 May 2021
MEAN BUSINESS (aka: DEVIL'S THREE aka: PAY OR DIE) is about a drug lord named Lucifer Devlin (Johnny Wilson), the abduction of his daughter, and the team that is assembled to find her.

Said team includes kung fu expert, Cleopatra Wong (Marrie Lee), Tony Del Rio (Chito Guerrero) -who acts and dresses like Liberace but fights like Bruce Lee!, and a 300 lb. Psychic named Rotunda.

Ample excuses for karate battles take place.

Hilarity happens. Sort of.

While most of the jokes hit the floor harder than lead underwear, there's plenty of unintentional humor to keep one watching agog! Ms. Lee is the best thing about the movie, which really doesn't approach being interesting until the last 30 minutes. That's when the karate quotient goes through the stratosphere, before bogging down again until the preposterous finale.

Yes, this is indeed the sequel to CLEOPATRA WONG...
