Watch Low Blow For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

"Low Blow" appears to reunite the director and most of the cast from a previous 80's movie called "Killpoint", only it seems to be made even more cheaply than that enjoyable time waster. As such, it's not the worst martial arts/action movie you will ever watch -I'd watch "Low Blow" 5 more times rather than watch Steven Seagal's "The Foreigner" even once more.The credits say that Leo Fong wrote this movie as well as starring in it (uh-huh).I have to admit the screenplay isn't nearly as bad as it might be, mostly because the movie doesn't seem to take itself (or the hero/leading man) too seriously. Fong plays a likable diamond in the rough, and the movie doesn't ask him to do anything he can't do well.Most of the rest of the cast are community theater rejects, with the exceptions of Cameron Mitchell (who once again has to act from behind a huge pair of blackened sunglasses), Stack Pierce and his trademark grimace, Troy Donaghue as your basic generic rich white guy/senator type, and a startingly charismatic and attractive young black woman who plays Cameron's girl Friday.She steals most of the scenes she is in and almost walks away with the movie.Again,the super low budget is very evident here, and the screen play has no real energy or momentum - it just kind of mooches along from fist fight to shootout to the next fist fight and then some more shooting. And BTW, since when can a bunch of private individuals with guns invade another privately owned compound and kill 90% of the people in it with no repercussions? I mean, supposedly the movie is set in the continental US - Fong's character just drives to the cult headquarters. It's not as if this is taking place in the Phillipines (even though some of it was obviously shot there). At least "Low Blow" is mildly funny and ribald when it means to be, and there's lots of cheesy action - only instead of "The Wild Bunch", it's more like "The Mild Bunch".You should not play actual money to see this DVD - I got as part of a 12 movies-for-$5 compilation, which was fine.

This movie reeks of 1980s, straight-to-video action: zero budget special effects, "filler" action sequences and some utterly loony acting. It may sound bizarre, but those are also the very reasons why I enjoy this film so much.In comparison the action movies of today, Low Blow seems positively wholesome. There is not much blood, no sex and the emphasis is more on fist fighting than high-tech weaponry. However, the film is never boring. The action is fairly constant and there are occasional touches of humour along the way.Leo Fong plays private detective, Joe Wong. Joe is hired to find a missing rich girl, Karen. Karen not only has a very unattractive hairstyle but is also completely moronic, as evidenced by her falling in with one of the most ridiculous cults ever depicted on film - complete with a black sheet wearing blind guru and a crazy woman played by real life Ghanian princess Akosua Busia. Leo Fong's dead-pan delivery and no frills martial arts style suit his character perfectly. A special mention must be given to Akosua who turns in the most ludicrous performance of her career.After having his butt kicked trying to infiltrate the compound, Joe realises that he needs assistance taking out the wackos and naturally enough, decides to hold a tough man contest to find some extra muscle. The scenes of the contest are some of my favourite in the movie. The fights are brief but varied and amusing. I particularly liked the wrestlers and the bizarre iron lady with the blond mullet. The film then comes to its rather predictable climax with some fun action and a good dose of humour.

Awesome movie, brilliant effects. Martial arts breath taking and casting superb 10/10 for me and anyone who watches it!! Leo Fong is an outstanding actor, and his martial arts believable. The whole movie is something that everyone can relate to as what happens in the plot happens everyday. This is a movie the whole family can watch and enjoy, although some action scenes you might want to cover your children's eyes as it can get a little gory. It is good how the producer made the victim to have a personality and not just a dumb bimbo who needs help (like in other martial arts films). All in All well done to all those involved with the film. I will be looking out for more Leo Fong movies.

Low Blow, the piece d'resistance for legendary Hollywood heavyweight, actor/director/screenwriter and cinematographer Leo Fong, sees Fong reprise his crowd pleasing role as ex-cop Joe Wong. In this installment, Wong is commissioned by capitalist tycoon (Troy Donahue in a standout performance) to rescue his daughter from a dangerous and mind warping cult. Set in the seedy underbelly of the outer areas of San Francisco, Wong must use all his guile as a street smart private investigator to penetrate the fortress of cult leader Yarakunda's compound and rescue the life of the movie's young heroine. A life held desperately in the balance, it is truly a race against time. Realising the limitations of a one man attack, Wong brings together a crack force of street fighting soldiers of fortune, much in the style of Hannibal's A-Team, with the promise great rewards. Wong and his salty mercenaries set in place a sophisticated plan that can't possibly fail. But is it too late?It is set against this seedy and powerful background that Fong sets about fully exploring the socio-economic imbalance and segregation in modern society, as well as the resultant effect on the innate human need for inclusion and interpersonal relations. Fong craftily using extreme physical violence as a metaphor for self-actualisation and positive external affirmations of inter-conceptual self discipline. In so doing, he demonstrates that while verbalisation of interpersonal conflict can be at times a useful tool in the subtle art of open ended dispute resolution focused dialogue, where concepts cannot be expressed using excessive and unnecessary force they are often not worthy of expressing at all. Further, in so doing, Fong furnishes the viewer with a useful forum for discussing the usefulness of ruthless and relentless violence in their own lives. In light of the currently repressive attitude of society toward aggression and hostility, in presenting this film, Fong bravely champions the cause of antagonism not only as a form of potentially hilarious entertainment, but as a most useful tool to be utilised in everyone's day to day existence.And in closing, while this movie contains vast offerings for a wide range of cultures, creeds and beliefs, is true to say that the underlying message of this film, as it should be, is that the deadliest weapon is still your fist.Fong – we can only say thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
