[11] Deep breath. An archaeologist in Greece finds a jade crystal with very
odd powers, wanted both by KGB spy
Norton (billed in the atrociously dubbed UK version as 'Ivan,
all-Russian karate champion'!) and Interpol agent Rothrock. The archaeologist is
KGB-napped, but slips the jade into the case of a friend's son who
discovers the crystal is a telepathic creature that's fond of ice-cream
before he's also abducted by Norton; will Interpol and his father get there
in time? There's more that I mustn't give away, but it's a good example of
the way HK can cram humour, drama and action together to great effect, and
would be fine even without the martial arts (Norton's prowess with the sai
would make a Ninja Turtle weep). Any story which combines UFO's, school
bullies and the birth of Venus must have something going for it.
