Kill and Kill Again (Ivan Hall, 1981)
There are some bad movies I love, and I can't justify my love of them in any way save pure nostalgia. Kill and Kill Again, a movie I was obsessed with throughout my teen years, is one of them. It is, I believe, the first martial arts movie I ever saw; while I have seen many since, some worse, most better, this one holds a spot in my heart that nothing will ever replace.

Rating:  - Steve Chase rules!
James Ryan, a blatant Bruce Lee wannabe, stars in one of the best "so bad it's good" martial arts flicks of all time. I remember this thing being on late-night cable in the early 1980s constantly, and I'm here to tell you it's just as hammy and over-the-top as you remember it. Ryan and a bunch of middle-age posers (who seem to think they actually ARE martial artists) race to save the world from an evil madman bent on enslaving the planet with his mind-control serum. Of particular interest is the scene ... Read More
Rating:  - Buy it for $10 plus shipping
All the previous reviews hit the nail on the head when talking about the campiness of this flick. It rolls up Enter The Dragon, Magnificent Seven and {Insert any Steven Seagal movie here} for the cheesy plot of a kidnapped professor who has created an alternative fuel source from taters {which is also a powerful mind control drug} and must be saved by a band of kung-fu good guys.
I wanted to second the notion that the DVD version of this film is as good as the VHS version. There are literally ... Read More
Rating: - Movies don't get too much better than this
This is one of the best cheesy movies of all time. James Ryan plays world Karate champion Steve Chase and he has to rescue a scientist. The scientist's daughter comes along and Steve gathers all his crazy friends for the mission. That is really all that needs to be said about the story. The great thing about this movie is the extreme corniness. The villain's voice is beyond classic, the dialogue should have won an Oscar, there are really too many good things to say about this, you just have to see it. The ... Read More
Rating:  - Campy movie classic from the 80s, DVD does not live up to it
I remembered this movie from daytime HBO in the early 80s. I was on a forum and we were discussing favorite martial arts movies, and I suddenly remembered this "classic". A poor man's(dirt poor, bordering on destitute) version of Enter the Dragon, it has average martial arts until the very end, when there are a couple of good scenes in the final arena battles. When I saw that it was on DVD, I immediately ordered it. The movie was just like I remembered it, and it is worth the $10. However, the print of ... Read More
