Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kimmy I picked up this movie because, every now and then, I enjoy watching the bad martial arts films that came out of the 1980s and 1990s. This is definitely one of those films, with a typical story line, bad cinematography, tons of shots that look like stock footage that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie, and the expected over acting.If you are going to watch this for the martial arts, this is not a very good movie. All of the martial art scenes are very slow and they appear to be very contrived. The one thing that I was surprised about is that a young, very hot Scott Shaw appears in this film as the bad guy cohort of David Carradine. At least for me, that made this movie worth the watch.

sveknu I just can't believe that it's possible to make martial arts movies as bad as this one. This is a great example for all future filmmakers how things should not be done. First, let talk about the fight scenes. Before watching this movie, I knew that it would be fighting almost non-stop from beginning to end. Great, I thought. The only problem is that the fight scenes just stink way beyond imagination. They were both slow and totally unspectacular, and I almost fell asleep watching.And now for the story (or lack of story). During this movie, I had huge problems in figuring out what was going on. Things just didn't make any sense at all, and I guess it's a new world record when it comes to plot holes (Calling them plot holes is way to good of a description though, since this movie really doesn't have a plot at all). And then, you could add David Carradine's worst part in a movie ever (maybe), and the same for Gary Daniels. I sure hope they have forgotten about this maximum piece of junk a long time ago.

neubelt82 This movie has a plot; a drug was manufactured for the purpose of improving food genetically but was found to cause birth defects and therefore was made illegal for use, it is highly addictive and very cheap to make. Thayer(Gary Daniels) was set up by a corrupt police detective to stage a fake death in the ring of his opponent while kick boxing, then they made it appear he really did kill his opponent. He has to run from the cops as well as the drug dealing Japanese gang led by his former sensai. His goal is to stop the shipment of drugs as well as put a stop to the gang. He must battle many villains including his former sensai in an epic match. Decent but somewhat complex plot the bad thing about this movie is the fight scenes are very sluggish at most times and the overall filming quality is horrible. This seems to be a low budget B movie, it is an OK movie but it would not be my first choice to buy. Almost any karate or kick boxing movie tops this as far as fight scenes go, this movie is at times hard to take seriously and is at times laughable with its slow fight scenes.

counterrevolutionary As near as I can figure out, it has something to do with drugs, deformed babies, kewpie dolls, bad haircuts, bad accents, bad acting, bad editing, David Carradine occasionally mumbling into a phone, stock-footage explosions, and a female DEA agent in really tight jeans.Beyond that, it could be anything.Lots of tremendously boring fight scenes, many of which are so badly choreographed that they look as if the actors were just filmed blocking them out and they never bothered to do a real take.This moronic and boring little flick does have one scene which is worth the price of the DVD:Our Hero (an Adrian Paul manqué, and how pathetic is *that*?) throws a couple of fragmentation grenades onto an LA freeway bridge, causing an enormous (I mean, *far* too big) explosion which knocks down a footbridge in the middle of the jungle somewhere. It may be the most hilariously egregious stock-footage mismatch I've ever seen.
