The final fight is probably the most anti-climatic fight ever in cinema

First of all, we are led to believe that Xao is virtually untouchable thanks to his advanced cybernetics. We are also led to believe that O'Brien is beatable because of that pathetic fight between him and the old geezer Bradford.
Immediately as soon as the final fight begins, it becomes obvious that Xao is definitely not untouchable, O'Brien makes him look like a bum. Uh, couldn't they make the fight closer, more enjoyable, I mean at least let Xao hit O'Brien once?

I did remember being a bit dissapointed by the end fight I think it should have gone a least another minute. But compared to the other fights this one does seem a bit more "hard hitting right away" deal.

But I think it should have been a lot more challenging for O'Brien. I guess a first the two would go head to head for a minute or two. Soon O'Brien realizes he's outclassed in strength. So he then begins to go after Xao's limps and destroys them (like his knee and hand). And then he just finishs off Xao but he's all bruised and bleeding.

Now that would have been more like it, just barely winning the fight.

I'm sure that if Albert Pyun had had more cash, he'd had made many parts of this movie better. But because of being so low on funds, many of the scenes seem rushed and lacking of something. The ending was like, over in 5 seconds.. and what's up with Tung going nuts in the arena with his gun, knowing that he has camera's and a huge crowd of witnesses watching him!?!
