The New York City street gangs of Chinatown and Little Italy are rattling their sabers and they become drawn when a Chinese restaurant opens up on the Italian side of Canal Street. In the middle of all this tension and violence, beautiful Chinese teenager Tyan-Hwa (Sari Chang) falls in love with Tony (Richard Panebianco), a pizza delivery boy. Of course, continuing with in the West Side Story vein, the parents of the two lovebirds are against the match. Not only that, but the Mafia and the Chinese mob conspire to separate the lovers in order to maintain an uncertain peace in the community. ...China Girl (1987) (Blu-Ray)

OK for Haven fans
I fear the casting director spent all their budget on Annette, since the other characters are very much B or even C movie standard, and the editor also should have cut great chunks of tedious continuity shots. There are some nice sessions with Annette, who looks very sexy in her specs. This blue ray is not all that special, since the HD is disappointing for a vinegar syndrome transfer.

A new approach to Romeo and Juliet
A very colourful and fast moving film starring David Caruso, but not the best role for him. He made a good job from a poorly scripted part, but the whole film was lacking in impact. Not the fault of the actors but it has been added to my growing Caruso collection and will get watched again. It contains the usual love and violence of family feuds and division resulting in tragedy based on Romeo and Juliet, but Caruso was not cast in the right part or on screen enough, and apart from him not a big name production.

Just a violent movie
I find this just a violent movie. There is nothing original in it, a part from the unusual Italian-Chinese link set in New York. For the rest is just blood and street gang fights.I got this movie because of its positive reviews, but I am disappointed.
