COMMANDO FURY is one of dozens of Asian Z-grade flicks that director Godfrey Ho put his name to in the 1980s; this one's a women-in-prison thriller rather than a ninja movie. However, being an IFD movie it shares similar production values with Ho's cheesy action output, and is generally a low rent and inferior production. The story mixes the usual prison stereotypes with some spy-style mayhem involving a hidden microfilm. The second half of the production is where this picks up, with a jailbreak followed by some jungle adventure including a somewhat incongruous scene involving a man-eating tree. A number of shoot-outs keep this watchable, although there's none of the sleaze or nudity the genre is known for. The bloody beach climax is worth the wait too.
