Get ready for a femme fatale whose looks are as deadly as her martial arts skills. Tiana Alexandra punches, kicks and shoots her way from the tough streets of San Francisco to the seedy underbelly ofSouth America in this sizzling, action-packed thriller. Checkers (Alexandra) is a top copin the field, but the memory of her sister's murder has left her with a short fuse. And when she goes undercover as a dancer to stop a ruthless talent agent (Rod Steiger) who uses unsuspecting starlets to smuggle narcotics, her anger boils over and she explodes in a white-hot rage to stop him dead in his tracks!

Customer Rating:
Summary: not so bad for a B movie
Comment: Tiana Alexandra (real name Tran Thi Thanh Nga, The Killer Elite, From Hollywood to Hanoi) is a sexy femme fatale here as "Checkers", with some decent acting and skilled, fantastical kicking technique. The male police leads play their comic roles effectively. Rod Steiger draws a paycheck as the lead bad guy; Harold Sakata ("Oddjob") plays a thug who tries to kill Checkers---and gets bashed by a prop ironing iron among other things (at least I hope it was a prop!) 5 stars is my rating, primarily for the beautiful Ms. Alexandra in her "Cinderella Pu" get-up. Although she may have left action work for more serious projects (From Hollywood to Hanoi, racial attitudes in Hollywood writings, etc.), she'll be remembered.

Summary: Not a very good movie,but Tiana is cool,strong and sexy
Comment: "Catch the heat" is a b-movie and I wonder why Rod Steiger accepted to act in this movie.Its main positive aspect lies in miss Tiana Alexandra's kicks.She's an Oriental catwoman.That's all
