One of the finest bad films ever lol, a true pleasure to watch, especially with the fellas riffing it. Definitely in my top 5 favorite Rifftrax movies for sure.
Kevin: "This is a Welch castle. Please relieve Tojo. I'll give you cosmic hell." Bill: "That's what I heard." Yeah, that's pretty much how I heard it, too. Glad I'm not the only one. 🤣
This was obviously Discount Bruce Lee, but in all the most hilarious ways, and enjoyably bad, the EXACT opposite of Enter The Dragon, which ISN'T hilarious or bad, but perfectly awesome in every way, but this film just felt like it's closer to being a parody of Enter The Dragon, Miami Connection, and Samurai Cop, all at once. Don't know why they had to rob Bruce Lee's yellow jumpsuits, though...
I vote for Cat Guy was really Sensei Ciabatta (that's what it sounded like to me) but nobody figured that out until the last day of filming; also the opening song line "I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR MIND!" was actually by Chewbacca; he had trouble finding work in Hollywood before 1977.
There's a new book about the kung fu genre called These Fists Break Bricks that has a chapter about not only this movie, but the actors and the producer who made it. It's pretty good.
The guy trying to do a Bobby Womack impersonation in the opening song is more hilarious than any riff from Rifftrax. With that said, this was hilarious!
Peak masculinity. Buncha guys being dudes, wielding nunchucks and making cartoonishly stereotypical martial arts screams, with that 70s blacksploitation soundtrack. Beautiful
I like how this film combines the son's revenge plot with the crooked business/politicians plot. It's not in this video but I always loved Roman's speech to the politician. Yeah, he dies for it, but it's that satisfying dressing down that gets you committed to the revenge parts. I also appreciate the multicultural allyship the makers went for.
The kung-fu or karate, to my casual eye anyway, looks good but the screaming and other odd noises during the fight scenes makes the action more comedic then cool. Also, I like how the director is trying to show that people are friends as opposed to just stating it, but the frequent male embracing kind of suggests they're more then friends.
This movie is 60% hugging. 10% fighting and 30% bad audio. The very rarely seen Russian Kazachok dance technique. 15:38 Doesn't seem very honorable to throw an unconscious guy to his death. But maybe that is just me.
Of course, i was thinking maybe they cut the gas off was because they had no money due to running through a horrible opening theme instead of getting a job (or at least what my mama would have said to him.😏)
The title is everything you want in a terrible movie. It's inscrutable as hell and vaguely reminiscent of other slightly less inferior movies starring overrated action movie actors (and I use the term lightly) such as Charles Bronson and that sack of horrible skin cells known as Steven Seagal
This came out in 77, same as Star Wars and Roots. The Summer of Sam, the summer Elvis died, the summer the lights went out in New York... crazy times
Same year as _Wizards_ and _Eraserhead_ as well.
And Led Zeppelin's disastrous '77 tour where the cracks were beginning to show.
Bon Scott and a former Earth Wind and Fire roadie are the most unlikely crime fighting duo ever. "Kung Fu fighting done dirt cheap".

I’m surprised Arrow have not came out with a copy of this 😂

😂
If Guy from Harlem and Miami Connection had a baby...
Give Death Promise the letter!
Love that the blond thug with a mustach near the end sounds more like he's yelling a aggressive, drawn out shiiiit! Then a actual yell.
It's my pick for this movie's stinger
@@trippjohnson7393Oh, Skinny Principal Rooney, and Buff Paul Rudd.
@@shawnfields2369 mainly skinny Principal Rooney.
@@trippjohnson7393 Oh yeah, definitely. But skinny Principal Rooney, went down without finding Ferris Beuller though...
The best gay karate movie I’ve ever watched, hands down, balls deep.
Guess you haven't seen "Miami Connection," huh? 😂
James Smith I love that one too 🤣 That scene when the leader had his toe in his guy’s mouth is insane 🤣🤣🤣
@@JamesSmith-vk2ky Don't forget about Samurai Cop
😂😂😂😂🤔 wait a minute...
Comment is good 😊
You can always spot the 1970s, lots of polyester, and funky music.
Incredibly, this came out the same year as A New Hope.
I'm not sure if that speaks more to this film's quality or to how talented the people working on New Hope were.
3:53 " This is Advanced class, please leave Dojo. Let class begin" I'm pretty sure is what he says
Jim Markovic and Serafim Karalexis also gave us The Real Bruce Lee(1979).
This movie reminds me of an outdated, Health textbook I had in school.
"It is better if you're seen without me for awhile."
I will never get tired of the Mcjagger pose 🤣🤣
I get a Discount Bruce Lee vibe, from the bare chests to the yellow jogging suits.

Another sleepless night, another rifftrax/MST3K mini marathon. This is better than sleepin anyway...right?
Sleeping yet?
@@karnerblue7658 I thought I fell asleep once, but I think I just died for a second.
Hope things improve, friend. 🙂 RiffTrax always gets me through bad times. I call them my “Laughter Angels”.
"We're here to fix the gas you maniac!"

11:32 to 13:19 is probably the best laugh I’ve had in a long time 😂
“He’s fighting an Axl Rose vocal track”
“And skinny Principal Rooney goes down”
“My sunburn still hurts”
David Schwimmer face 😂
“Mick Jagger stance, very powerful”
Those fighting sounds they're making! 🤣
I thought they were mating calls? 😉👍
15:30 This is one of the greatest scream deaths in cinema history 😂😂😂😂👀
For sure!
I don’t know, I think 13:30 has it beat.
Wwwwwipeout!!!
"Something stinks in the big city......oh wait its Death Promise".
There's a new book about the kung fu genre called These Fists Break Bricks that has a chapter about not only this movie, but the actors and the producer who made it. It's pretty good.
This was just EPIC. One of my Favorite. "He wished he was a little bit taller. Also that I was a baller."
The guy trying to do a Bobby Womack impersonation in the opening song is more hilarious than any riff from Rifftrax.
With that said, this was hilarious!
If this movie 70s'd any harder, it'd grow an afro
For some reason this film reminds me of Who Killed Captain Alex. The cheesy incompetent charm is kinda works.
05:36 They used his grandmother’s bedroom for this scene 😂😂😂
Peak masculinity. Buncha guys being dudes, wielding nunchucks and making cartoonishly stereotypical martial arts screams, with that 70s blacksploitation soundtrack. Beautiful
So much gag-shrieking!
11:30 - The Femur Breaker school of acting.
This fashion & music needs to come back
13:32 "You will never kill me! i have 300 HP!" 13:38 "C-correction! 1 HP!!"
How did they not comment on the name Speedy Leacock in the opening credits?
12:10 - Borat powers up!!!
"WE'RE HERE TO FIX THE GAS YOU MANIACS!"....While beating the bejesus out of each other
Hilarious
I, too, enjoyed this Riff, but now I need to go find some more tablecloths to turn into shirts.
BRB
Bongo Chuuko!!

Yeah, he dies for it, but it's that satisfying dressing down that gets you committed to the revenge parts. I also appreciate the multicultural allyship the makers went for.
And, most importantly, the throat-flaying screams of a proper martial artist.
I would like to sum up this movie in three words:
Box of rats!🐀
Speedy Leacock.... I’ll just leave that here
8:02 I have NEVER seen more paisley on film than in this scene...
07:25 “It’s me, Waldo!”
Pure gold.
There would be less screaming if Asta from Black Clover was voiced by the lovechild of Sam Kinison and Nobuyuki Hiyama.
15:29 The best part 😂😂😂👀👀
Its amazing how subtle they made gay movies then.
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 I know, that was kinda the point
'death promise'... wasn't that another one of golden corral's slogans?
He's the cat!
“How’s it going, Mr. Krueger?”
“Fire tower, water tower’s natural enemy”
“You feel that wicked beat, Earl?”

Is this some ethereal prequel to Escape 2000 and or Bronx Warriors, but without the Trashy charm?
Young man?
Mmmm Master Ciabatta. Fresh from the oven!
12:16 EEEEEHHHHHHHHHH
11:31 This White dude is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
My pick for this movie’s stinger.
Is Sup Kim supposed to be a flamboyant Bruce Lee?
Was the hero of the movie wearing his mom's blouse?
I think he raided her closet.
Hey Wiley, ever tried the 'post-running, grabbing each other' move after your workouts? Certainly helps my recovery.
Death of your career promise

11:46 Tickle tickle!
Of course, i was thinking maybe they cut the gas off was because they had no money due to running through a horrible opening theme instead of getting a job (or at least what my mama would have said to him.😏)
😂😂😂
😂
You know, a sentient wah-wah pedal could probably make a better movie than this. Or at least a funkier one.

What is it with stupid 80s action films and guys being shirtless?
This is 70s
