One of THE WORST martial arts flicks ever!
All right...in this genre of film, the only saving grace is usually the choreography. The acting almost always bites, the stories are unoriginal, and the characters are just too cheesy for words.But this movie had some of the worst fight choreography I've ever seen.I'll admit that I'm a fan of the old school, but there are several "modern" chop-socky flicks I like - "Revenge of the Ninja," most of Jackie Chan's 80/90's work...heck, even the first "Lethal Weapon" counts (the end fight does, at least).But this movie really sucked. Truly. ESPECIALLY the fight scenes.Now, I hate it when they speed the film up to make the moves look faster, but these guys were moving WAY too slow and the movements were simply NOT REALISTIC. So Bolo's winning the fight, and suddenly, he can't put up a guard against a flying spin kick?huh?Van Damme's movies generally bite anyway, but this one was just atrocious.Probably his best one to date is "Kickboxer."But this "classic" shouldn't be preserved...just let it rot like the garbage it is.
