An urban policewoman (Cynthia Rothrock) returns to Utah and becomes sheriff to avenge her slain father with kung fu.

"China O'Brien" is rough around the edges, borderline slapdash at times, but there's Rothrock to hold the endeavor together, providing a greatly entertaining take on western attitudes with this cowboy tale of law and order.

... The action is captured on screen by director Robert Clouse with his usual satisfactory proficiency.

Shot with a furious speed akin to the films coming out of Hong Kong at the time, Rothrock's fights are genuinely jaw dropping.

It's Rothrock... Plot seems like a particularly violent Warner Home Movie. Its all denim, unconvincing punching and very obvious small town corruption.

"As a B-grade martial arts cop film it did not disappoint me." **** This was the first Cynthia Rothrock film that I had ever seen & as a B-grade martial arts cop film it did not disappoint me. She is a very talented martial artist that will please martial art fans, or just someone wanting to watch a martial arts movie. ~ I give this B-grade film a B + (Bright)
