To me, this movie is perfection.
Please don't spend money on this.
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
I am shocked to see that only 1 other person has written a review on this film. There's no doubt that the lead actor is the true star of this film and the movie has a nice overall raw feel to it { reminding me a bit like Street Trash was with its rawness} I certainly would be curious to see this directors other films if he has any and I also found the guy that played Bonecrusher to be highly enjoyable. This film seems to be quite rare but thankfully I got it many many years ago and kept it in my collection.For anyone thats a fan of violent street gang bloody films,I would recommend they see this one.I think the guy that played Bonecrusher was also in Street Trash.H e might have played the lead role in that film as the bum that wears the hat .
If you liked playing Double Dragon on your Nintendo, you will love this movie! It's about the kind of blokes you'd have in the video game but now it's just about as psycho crazy and atmospheric as Abel Ferrara's Driller Killer. A street-brawler kid quits his gang to live with his girl, but off course it's not that easy to turn his back on the gang.. It's a very simple plot, but it has a certain style and intensity that make up for that lack of complexity. The style, to compare, is a bit between Driller Killer and Richard Kern's short films (The Hardcore Collection). A sometimes psychotic montage with lots of stylish and semi-shocking images and great action scenes with intense gore and a haunting musical score. Or maybe it was just really good weed. Who knows..
This film could change your life. A friend introduced me to this movie a couple weeks ago, and not a conscious hour has gone by that I have not thought of it. If this seems remotely like your type of film (low-budget action gore) then you MUST see this. It immediately became one of my all time favorites. The cover does not do it justice. Think 'Mad Max' meets 'Polyester' meets 'Cannibal Apocalypse'... and you're sort of on the right track. Really, it's like nothing you've ever seen. I have never reviewed any films on IMDb before, with this movie I felt I had no other choice but to shout it's praises to anyone who will listen. It deserves to be legendary. Prepare to have your mind blown away.
This is probably the worst movie I have ever had the opportunity to watch. The acting was terrible, and the story was bland and lacked luster. The only really redeeming qualities of this movie were few and far between and usualy involved me laughing my ass off at how bad it was. for example the father freaking out over his last beer was priceless and deserves and Oscar, the one shot knock over the head with a nunchuck to steal some guys bike was hilarious and deserved a few rewinds, and the director is pretty good with nunchucks. If it were a five minute short film made up of these three things in no particular order and was called "Nunchuck Knockout For Dad`s Last Beer" it would have been amazing. To bad I`m a fan of really low budget stuff, but this didn`t cut it.
