Jeff Wincott, who was making martial arts flicks at the same time as Jeff Speakman, plays a long-haired lawyer who loses everything -- not entirely his fault, it seems -- and is forced to fight in a series of illegal matches. That part of the plot you've seen before, but the rest of this action flick is a tad unusual. I won't say more about the plot, but I will tell you that the film has some exciting fights, and the ending ties neatly in with the rather odd opening. Wincott is pretty convincing as an ass-kicking lawyer. He is the brother of Michael Wincott, by the way. Worth a look for fans of both action and kung fu type flicks.
just watching this on late night FREE TV. bad acting, story, hairstyling, casting choreography, directing,,, can't even be bothered finishing the list. i love bad TV. i laugh at lame 1 liners and cheap sets. but this is just plain bad.i think the makers were going for a jean-claude/Dolph lundren type movie, but even they probably would have turned down the role. the only thing i like is the supposed tough 'mafia' guys who would make anybody they threaten laugh in their face.do not waste your money on this and if you are looking for cheap laughs you will be waiting a while.
I just caught this film when I was away on holiday and being a martial arts movie fan I thought I'd check it out, but I have to say it was diabolical.The fight scenes are slow and poorly choreographed, the acting is laughable and the direction is deplorable. They must have pulled these actors off the streets and thrown them in front of the camera.When you look at what people like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan were doing over 20 years earlier it makes you wonder how these people have the face to make such rubbish. It really is THAT bad.Don't bother spending any money on this film, buy your wife some flowers or something like that, you'll get a better result!
A street wise lawyer deep in debt is forced to repay by participating in illegal martial arts fights. Jeff Wincott exhibits his martial arts skill throughout the entire movie. The story is decent, but being in the martial arts myself, I thought this aspect really delivered.
