Obscure standard Phillipino actioner
This ultra obscure Tagalog action film seems to have only been released as 'Taking it to the Streets' on vhs by American Video.
The plot involves Jimmy, a former soldier, who gets revenge after his sister Shirley, a prostitute, is raped by a letcherous mob thug. They attack the mob chieftain, who also became their guardian after their father died but forced them into employment for him, but are unsuccessful and Jimmy gets beaten up.
Then two other separate men come with scores to settle, those two make amends and decide to join the mob (are you confused yet?). Meanwhile, a drug deal goes bad, so the mob boss decides to make Shirley become a boxer so the deals can go down in the arena!!?
And this is only the first 35 minutes!
Like many Tagalog films of the 70s and 80s, it's pretty hard to follow the plot. Operation Dragon Force features a couple of good action scenes, but the last 20 minutes are where the bulk of them are.
The meantime is full of Jimmy and Shirley being forced to help the mob while Jimmy falls in love with the chieftains other adopted daughter.
Finally, a battle with the army breaks out featuring many exploding huts, machine guns, exploding helicopter, and a cave battle.
Operation Dragon Force is a decent film, but if you've seen a single other Philippino action film then you've seen this before.
