Fantastic martial arts action
a great movie, spectacular action scenes. gaines gives a very convincing performance in this fantastic film.

"Superfighter!" (the greatest theme song, ever)
This is such an unbelievably stupid movie. Possibly the worst Seasonal movie I have seen that features English speaking actors. Seasonal did the No Retreat No Surrender movies, American Shaolin, and Bloodmoon. And I have to say that this is my least favorite. The fight scenes are quite good, and there are a lot of really talented action performers, but unfortunately the movie is so stupid it's hard to actually enjoy it. I highly enjoy movies that are so good that they are bad, but this isn't one of them. It starts out with a great cheesy scene showing the lead actor training by practicing his kicks and jumping off trampolines, but the cheese gets lower in quality as the movie goes on. The lead actor has good fighting skills, but he's so tiny and young looking, it's impossible to take him serious. On the positive side, the fights are really good. Cliff Lenderman (the muscular monk from Americal Shaolin), gets a ton of fight time. And when I say muscular, I mean that he is HUGE. And you can tell he is a real martial artist, and probably something of a body builder too. And there are guys who are even bigger than him. Also on hand are the amazing skills of Keith Vitali and Chuck Jefferys. So as long as you don't expect a good movie, just a ton good fights, you will probably enjoy it.

2.5/5

The DVD from Pathfinder has pretty good picture quality, and as always, Pathfinder delivers with the special features, this time with a commentary from producer/writer Keith Strandburg and actor Chuck Jeffreys. It's a real treat. They don't actually do a lot of talking, but good information provided when they do.

SUPER!!!
This movie Has some fantastic work. I have low standards for martial arts plots but I really loved this movie. My only complaints are as follows. note I am not being sarcastic 1)It seems to be made for children. the uniforms and the charicters do (by the movies own admission) look like eighties style pro wrestling. The main charicter Jack Cody played by Brandon Gains acts like a child that babysitters charge extra for. He's skinny and full of energy but that helps make him the best flying kicker I have ever seen. (he still looks about 70 pounds)

2) The choreogropher doesn't seem to work within limits. These fights are some of the most physically demanding bits I have ever seen. Sure Brandon Gains doesn't have too much body to lift so he can fly all over, but for guest star Keith Hackney (yup the UFC guy) the flying is too much for him and the combos look like crap.

most of the time the fighters can manage but it looks bad when some fighters try to use moves in combat that they haven't quite gotten the hang of yet

3) the bad guy (keith vitali) is the worst villan ever. Not only does he have the cheeziest lines to repeat but he, being somone who cares only about money has no problem killing off all of his money making fighters. He even kills somone running their head through a wooden ceiling fan. He has officially earned the "Outrageously Bad Actors Award" believe me he earned it.

With that in mind this movie is great. There is at least one fight or training sequence in every five minutes of fim, and this more than makes up for defects defects in the silly old plot. Half these movies dont even really have a plot. This one's even enjoyable! I'd love to see more of Brandon Gains and choreoghapher Tony Leung. Keep an eye out for this one. It has some great stuff
