I love the '90!

Watched Hard To Kill and The Perfect Weapon back to back.

I can easily say that The Perfect Weapon was way more entertaining.

Hard to kill was ok, some nice parts, Steven Seagal is definitely more charismatic on screen than Jeff Speakman that do have a regular guy aura but both actors had great training and it show but, The perfect Weapon had more action, nice pace, great fights and many known faces.

I found the dvd of The Perfect Weapon for 2$ in a pawnshop. The title seeing from the side, it ringed a bell. I look at the cover, bam! I remember this movie on a shelf of a videoclub! Never saw it and I dig '90 movies so I took it. I keep it in my collection. The '90 feels is there, but in aged well.

I couldn't agree more brotha. As cheesy as some of those 80s and early 90s action films are, they were really entertaining and just something about them that I miss soo much these days that the newer movies don't have. Here is some other really good ones you should definitely check out:

Excessive Force(1992)
Stone Cold(1991)
Rapid Fire(1992)
Showdown in little Tokyo(1991)
Passenger 57(1992)
Army of one(1993)
Double Impact(1991)

Nice list of movies. I own them all in some form except for...Excessive Force does not ring a bell but I'll be looking it up on here after I write this. I live in the US but am watching Showdown in Little Tokyo right now on a spanish channel lol. And this just made me think of this movie. I only have The Perfect Weapon on VHS and I don't even own a VHS player anymore. I miss this movie and the days when movies like this were shown on cable

definitely check out Excessive Force, very entertaining. The Perfect Weapon is now available on Blu Ray which I bought and does it ever look good in high definition...I live in Canada but there is a store near where I live that has literally 10,000 movies and that's how I found out most of the movies that I missed out on growing up. Lots of underrated forgotten films I have found there...But I really miss those days too, the 80's and early 90's were my "golden era" of not just action films, but all movies. Like the expression goes "they don't make em like they use to"
