I think I watched it twice back in the 80s. The second time was with lady cranefly shortly after we got together. I was trying to show her the coolness of the martial arts. She only watched part of it.
Later, by other means, she discovered the coolness of the martial arts.
I suppose Stoner is a guilty pleasure for me. Not a very good movie. But Angela Mao has such an intensity to her facial expressions. Even though it's been 20 years, I still recall vividly Angela and Lazenby locked in that cage, unable to see each other (though we can clearly see them), and they keep reaching out, feeling for the other. When contact is made, there's a flurry of fighting. This goes on for 5 minutes.
And yeah, aphrodisiac subplots always kick butt (though maybe not Angela's; she's too fast).
