Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Woodyanders Ace martial artist Steve Chase (a solid and charismatic performance by James Ryan) rounds up a crack team of rough'n'ready karate experts in order to rescue scientist Dr. Horatio Kane (John Ramsbottom) from the clutches of evil billionaire Marduk (broadly played by Michael Mayer, who sports an uproariously obvious fake beard).Director Ivan Hall, working from a blithely silly script by John Crowther, keeps the entertaining story moving along at a snappy pace, maintains an engaging lighthearted tone throughout, stages the lively chopsocky fights with rip-roaring flair (a rowdy barroom brawl rates as a definite rousing highlight), and tops everything off with amusing touches of campy humor. The neat array of colorful characters adds considerably to this picture's infectiously kitschy appeal: Anneline Kriel provides delicious eye candy as foxy blonde babe Kandy Kane, Ken Gampu cuts an imposing figure as amiable behemoth Gorilla, Marloe Scott Wilson almost steals the whole show with her gut-busting portrayal of Marduk's sassy pink-haired main hench wench Minerva, Bill Flynn supplies affable comic relief as lovable slob Hotdog, Stan Schmidt spouts a lot of mystical mumbo jumbo hogwash as the enigmatic The Fly (he levitates and scales high-rise building with no difficulty whatsoever), Norman Robinson contributes a likable turn as hillbilly bruiser Gypsy Billy, and Eddie Dorie makes for a suitably menacing flunky as hulking brute Optimus. The funky-pulsating score hits the get-down groovy spot. A really fun flick.
disdressed12 this is one silly,preposterous movie,but it is fun.the dialogue is laughable.it's delivered in a laughable manner.the acting is mostly abysmal,sometimes it's worse.and don't get me started on the low production values and the cheap sound effects.the plot is laughable too,of course but despite all this,or maybe because of it,you have to keep watching.and none of the negatives matter.the movie is self aware,and knows what it is,and isn't trying to be anything else.like i said,it's a lot of fun.and some of the fighting scenes are pretty decent as well.i didn't like it as much as it's prequel,Kill or be Killed,but it's still worth a watch.for me,Kill and Kill Again is a 6/10
taikrige Yes Hi "Kill Or be Killed." - Sorry to only answer your posting now, but I've only recently become aware of all this 'stuff' on "Kill and Kill Again," on which I was the cinematographer and helped get the martial artists for the movie, since i knew them all.... You are right. A lot of people preferred the first film also with James Ryan as Steve Chase in "Kill and Kill Again", but I must tell you that the box-office figures tell a very different story...in fact, depending on how old you are, you might remember a film made by Bo Derek's husband John Derek called "10" ...a 'tits and bums' vehicle to show off the many charms of his lovely wife that did very well at the box-office and was released the same year as "Kill and Kill Again'. Well, believe it or not, "Kill and Kill Again" made more money than "10". Much more money....I have the figures somewhere......Anyhow both these movies have gone into the memories and archives of "Chop Suie' or karate pot-boilers.....One of the many things I admire about James Ryan is that after these two big successes for him in the USA, he was offered many more roles like that and could of happily gone on making them ad nauseum, going for the money and fame. But he declined....went back to South Africa to become one of SA's best male leads in theater and TV /cinema...a 'big up' for Steve Chase ........ tai krige sasc.
alex6322 When you watch a kung fu movie, are you expecting an intelligent plot, fine acting, and high production values? I hope not, because this movie has a very SILLY plot, lame acting, and it was made for about $100. But it's a lot of fun. The villain has a mind-control serum and a fake beard. Steve Chase assembles his team, Seven Samurai-style, to save the world. The rest of the movie is hilariously cheesy. I used to watch this flick on HBO in the middle of the night when I was a kid, around 1980. It was on all the time. When I founjd it on sale on DVD, I took a chance (these things don't always age so well, ya know?). But it's still GREAT. When it's deadly serious, I laugh, and when the characters crack a joke, it falls flat. KILL AND KILL AGAIN is the Plan 9 of martial arts movies. All humans must see it at least once! Marduk commands it!
