Lee plays the TV station head, but his mere casting gives away his identity as the head of the smugglers, while Matt Clark is the crooked cop who gets to die violently for his double face. Soon, however, he acquires a couple of associates: the dead woman's father (Mako), himself a martial arts expert and who often comments wryly on Norris' own skills and her co-worker, who just happens to live in the same building, and who eventually goes to live with our protagonist and his dog after her own place is ransacked (at one point even comforting a perspiring Norris in the wake of a nightmare). ![]() This becomes even more personal when his partner's Asian TV reporter wife (engaged in her own expose' of drug trafficking) first contacts Norris that she may have acquired a lead on the villains and then winds up dead herself before she can divulge the information to the hero. Receiving no support from his superior (Richard Roundtree), he gives up his gun and badge – but, needless to say, continues the investigation on his own. The plot, too, is pretty routine: the star, along with his cop partner, gets ambushed (due to a snitch within the Police force) during a raid on some drug dealers – with the latter losing his life in gruesome fashion. The film is very typical action fare of its era – comparable, for instance, to the contemporaneous flicks Charles Bronson was starring in – but obviously incorporating Norris' brand of martial arts to complement the expected gunplay.

The first one was “keep an eye on something” and the second phrase is “keep an eye out for something.” This means to watch carefully until that thing appears. The second expression is to keep an eye out for something. So, to keep an eye on something means to watch it carefully or monitor it carefully. It doesn’t mean that you’re constantly looking at the cellphone, it means that frequently, you check the price of the phone to see if it went on sale. ![]() You would keep an eye on it to see if it goes on sale. For example, let’s say you really want to buy a particular new model of cellphone, but it’s a little too expensive. Now, keep an eye on can also mean to monitor something or pay attention to it even if you’re not watching it continuously. To keep an eye on something means to watch it or monitor it carefully.įor example, if you’re at the beach and you have young children, you want to keep an eye on your children to make sure that they don’t get into danger or get hurt or get lost.
