A great 80's martial arts movie !


This film (produced by the same crew of ENTER THE DRAGON) is what I consider an old retro 80's gem of martial arts films.
Iconic director Robert Clouse, who had a long list of several martial arts/action titles under his belt (which included ENTER THE DRAGON, BLACK BELT JONES, GOLDEN NEEDLES, THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, THE AMSTERDAM KILL, GAME OF DEATH, BATTLE CREEK BRAWL and others) made this deliberately trashy, yet exiting fast paced picture.
It has a cast of real martial artists and actors (some of them became regular performers in many Robert Clouse films such as Sonny Barnes, Richard Norton, Mel Novak, Pat Johnson and Bob Schott), great music score and a convincing plot.
It is a cheesy yet creative mixture between ENTER THE DRAGON and TV's THE A-TEAM.
I have it on DVD and never get tired watching it.
It's great fun to watch !!
