Review of Millionaires' Express (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Unwatchable. Nearly.

Advantages: Reasonable fight scenes, threatening villain
Disadvantages: Poor lighting and sound; lack of script, plot and acting; and that mullet.

Cynthia Rothrock plays a waitress, who moonlights as a gangfighter to earn money to put her sister through college. When her sister is one of the victims of a martial artist who is killing every woman who reminds him of his ex-wife, she goes looking for revenge. Its not the deepest plot, but has a few nice moments (and bad puns). Basically the film exists as an excuse to string the fight scenes together and give the fighters a reason for combat. ...
...the acting is poor, the script is not exactly Shakespeare and the quality of the video and audio on the DVD is not the greatest. Some of the violence is extremely graphic and unnecessary and the film definitely earned its eighteen rating.The villain is surprisingly threatening, despite wearing the worst eighties mullet ever seen. However, this film also provides a few good fight scenes and set pieces, and a chance to see Ms. Rothrock showing her ...

Review of Fist Of Fury (Platinum Edition) (DVD)

Enter the Dragon

Advantages: Fights!!
Disadvantages: Bad acting, bad plot

...When you watch Enter the Dragon these days, it becomes pretty obvious, almost immediately, where films like Mortal Kombat and Conan the Destroyer got their inspiration from. This, the first kung film to be produced by a major Hollywood studio, and the last completed Bruce Lee film before his death "by misadventure", is credited with popularizing the martial art in America and establishing Lee as a cultural icon. And the reason that the film is considered ...
...action. The fight choreography in Enter the Dragon is so good that we needn't bother dwelling on what's bad here. So ignore the paper-thin, James Bond-type plot, and the piss-poor attempts at emotional expressiveness, and enjoy Enter the Dragon for what it is: Jaw-breaking kicks, high- pitched squeals, and incredibly-ripped male bodies. Indeed, Lee's phenomenal fitness has to be witnessed to be believed. [Visit me at: http://www.andycarrington.co.uk] ...
