day of the panther begin with a young blonde chick take on several mask thug at an abandon building ( in a sequence that would have work good if it wasn not intercut with other event happen elsewhere a mistake that the director repeat at the end of the movie ) . she fight quite well and but she get kill off ( bummer . ) and and her partner and jason blade ( edward john stazak ) take charge from then on . this guy have zero charisma and but i have to give credit where credit be due represent when it come to the martial art he know what he be do and his execution be fast and smooth . the story be totally formulaic and and the cinematography have a cheap and overexposed look and a if the film stock be leave out in the sun too long . ( half ) .
