The deadliest art of the Orient is now in the hands of an American.

Overview

Joe Armstrong, an orphaned drifter with little respect for much other than martial arts, finds himself on an American Army base in the Philippines after a judge gives him a choice of enlistment or prison. On one of his first missions driving a convoy, his platoon is attacked by a group of rebels who try to steal the weapons the platoon is transporting and kidnap the base colonel's daughter.

A review by misubisu
Written by misubisu on 2024-07-12
The acting is terrible, the scripts and dialogue are terrible, the plot is [extremely] shallow.
But, I love this movie... from the 1st time a watched it (a straight to VHS video tape).
The fighting sequences are actually pretty well done, and believable.

You'll get many laughs out of the non-sensical dialogue and some good entertainment out of the action and fighting scenes.

A diamond in the rough, that's for sure.
