Genre: Martial Arts

If you’re okay with a few obvious plot devices and some basic fisticuffs, then this may make for a worthy addition to your collection.

If you’re just looking for a quick burst of schlocky, action-packed fun then this will certainly make the grade.

It’s possible that fans of Don Wilson or cheap action movies in general may appreciate it more, but to me it’s evident that the series was starting to run out of ideas.

If the idea of a ‘Die Hard’ clone with sci-fi channel levels of acting and action sounds appealing, then you may get a kick or two out of the low budget cheesiness of ‘Bloodfist VI’.

‘Manhunt’ travels the same well-worn path as its predecessors (particularly ‘Bloodfist IV’) with a very predictable plot and some low grade action.

‘Hard Way Out’ is a sloppily cobbled together mess that is littered with awful genre cliches and a collection of very bad actors.

Recommended to all fans of Gary Daniels, and those who like their hands free action violent and acrobatic.

What puts it slightly above most is the charisma of a youthful Van Damme coupled with some decent action.

‘Bloodsport II’ is an improvement over its predecessor due to the greater quantity (and quality) of the action.

Bernhardt puts in another solid performance, proving his abilities as a screen fighter with a certain charisma. Unfortunately, everything else is totally forgettable.

Dark cinematography, powerful scenes, politically incorrect humour and good fight choreography combine to make this an entertaining film, but one you are only likely to watch once.

Existing in its own heightened reality, ‘Bodyguard Kiba’ is all about making our hero look cool (and indestructible!) and the bad guys as nasty as possible.
