Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Fatal Termination, also known as Death Blow, is a 1990 Hong Kong action film starring Ray Lui, Robin Shou, Simon Yam and Moon Lee.When an arsenal of stolen weapons smuggled into Hong Kong gets confiscated by Police Officer John (Ray), leading to the death of the lead smuggler, the smuggler's brother swears revenge, which will inevitably get John's entire family - including his wife Moon (Moon) and young daughter dragged into danger. And everything else is made further complicated by Jimmy (Simon) and Billy, two other cops involved in the arrest, and a corrupt customs official (Robin).This movie is notorious among Moon Lee's fans for what is possibly the most f***d-up stunt ever performed by a child actor, happening in the scene where the child portraying Moon and Ray's onscreen daughter gets abducted by being grabbed from the hair, and hoisted outside a moving vehicle while hanging a few feet off the ground through the hair in an intense 2-minute chase scene. It can be seen here (WARNING: Some may find the linked video disturbing). note In a behind-the-scenes video, the stunt was pulled off by having the child actor being suspended from wires (instead of her hair, thank god) attached to a prop arm. The chase scene is deliberately undercranked to give an impression that its a lot faster on camera than it was in real life, and precautions are taken to ensure maximum safety for the little girl playing the kidnapped daughter. But still, damn!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Absurdly Youthful Mother | |
| Fatal Termination / int_a7f7e5f4 | comment |
Absurdly Youthful Mother: Moon Lee's character, Moon. She was 25 when this movie came out. But then again sometimes people do have children at 18-19 years of age, so that's not really unusual. | |

Avenging the Villain | |

Avenging the Villain: Mr. Ko’s vendetta towards John is mostly stemmed from John killing Ko’s brother, another arms dealer. The confiscated weapons cache is purely secondary. Ko eventually resort to Revenge Myopia instead by shooting John’s daughter, his only child. | |
