Interesting facts

24 Hours to Midnight is a 1985 action film directed by Leo Fong and starring Juan Chapa, Stephen Moore, Stack Pierce, Bernie Pock, De'Ann Power and Cynthia Rothrock. It is about a woman who takes revenge on the people that killed her husband.

Background

Apparently Cynthia Rothrock pulled out of the film and the footage with her was shelved for some years. Later scenes with Deanne Powers dressed in a ninja suit were added. The book, The Encyclopedia of Martial Arts Movies by Bill Palmer, Karen Palmer, and Ric Meyers credit George Chung as the director, while other sources credit Leo Fong as the film's director. The production company was Sunny Film Corp.

Due to the success of the film in video stores, the video rights were acquired by Buena Vista Home Entertainment and ten years later it was re-released. Around 2004, it was re-released through a new company called Draculina Cine. The film's 4th re-release on video was by distributor, Lions Gate.
