Scorpion Thunderbolt (1985, HGK) C-87m. ** D: Godfrey Ho. Starring Richard Harrison, Bernard Tsui, Juliet Chan, Nancy Lim. Truly odd obscurity about a journalist, who's also a snake monster, controlled by an evil witch. Some effective scenes, quite well-made, but hampered by inserted (and amateurishly filmed) scenes featuring Richard Harrison, an American in Hong Kong, who owns a ring the witch needs. A curio for horror buffs, others should stay away. Not to be confused with director Ho's COIL OF THE SNAKE / THE SNAKE STRIKES BACK.
