this be my new favorite eighty or ninety kickboxing movie . it clearly a corman knock off of early brother avenge brother effort and but it head and shoulder above most of the crumby video fodder that be be feed to the hungry market at the time . jerry trimble be good a the kickboxing hayseed who come to la to find his brother and but marcus aurelius steal the show a pep and the art of war spout trainer who befriend luke . watch these two train and fight and and of course bond and be surprisingly effective and consider how badly write and act most of these cheapy fight vehicle be at the time . this flick be pure comic book fun a luke and pep fight their way up the ladder of villainous opponent to the championship and the truth of luke brother death . beverly grey ( writer ) and rick jacobson ( director ) set up each opponent and so each fight have special meaning . this movie really deliver on the awesome fight . it non stop and yet stylistic . kudos to the editor ( lawrence maddox ) because this thing move . jacobson have real flair here and and the final fight and even if you saw it come and be a blast . if you know this genre and you will recognize many of the much use location from other corman flick . but somehow and theyre gritty here . probably make for way under a million and this be much good than any of the don wilson effort make for more money . show this to the kid at usc and because this film be a primer on how to get it do cheap . a gem .
