A martial arts master seeking to save his brother from a murderous drug lord infiltrates a ferocious underground fighting ring despite the danger of knowing every move he makes could be his last. His brother is being used as an expendable drug mule by a Far East dope slinger, and now one determined fighter (Gary Daniels) will have to blast his way through some of the most vicious brawlers on the planet in order to make his way to the top and save his sibling from an unimaginably cruel fate.

Gary Daniels stars in this atrocious martial arts flick as a martial artist who battles bad guys who set up death matches that lead to harvesting of organs and in which Daniels must protect his lunkheaded martial artist brother (Ian Jacklin of Kickboxer 3 fame) from competing in such a fight. People seem to hate Kickboxer 3 a lot, with tons of people saying it's the worst of such a series (I say 5 is worse and that it's about on par with 2.) Still while I always found that film to be sort of a guilty pleasure, Ian Jacklin who was the bad guy in that one was easily the weakest link, and in this film he is even worse as a good guy. Jacklin always comes off as a dumb jock and here you'll be rooting for him to buy it quickly. Gary Daniels meanwhile is in his salad bowl days and he clearly would go on to far better things. This is a very bad martial arts movie that has terrible fight sequences and even worse acting. It really is as abysmal as they come with nothing of any worth. Gary Daniels is a wooden actor but it wouldn't be fair for me to say that he is the reason this film is so horrid. Indeed Daniels was effective in Spoiler and he made some enjoyable trash with PM. American Streetfighter is definitely one of those films Gary Daniels wishes he could forget, and one that I would like to forget as well.1/2* out of 4-(Awful)

The story is OK and so is the acting but your first clue that it's not that great is the fact it's only a $1 and in a cardboard sleeve.It really is just another Martial arts movie not much to be said. It's from the early 90's and it shows. Not the amount of violence we love to see in todays movies a decade later. Honestly it's not to bad and I'd probably watch it again. Gary Daniels is honestly not a bad actor and is a pretty decent fighter.So when you judge this movie please realize it's not up to today's standards. It doesn't have big name actors and was probably a low budget film.

OK. If you like martial arts movies, this is the kind of movies when you only want to see kicks and punches. But sometimes, the story is important. And then, this movie fails. And fails a lot. If you are a rich men living in Hong Kong, with a hard past, and a family living in USsa. All months they receive a check from you. You are manteining them. And your brother is a kind of monkey without intelligence... only fighting with his traumas. You, looking for help, leaves your work and start fight with wild mans, and even you become hurt... Of course, this is only a part of the story. But has problems of continuity, has problems with a lot of points. The fights are fine. Gary Daniels is a bad actor, but better than Van Damme. I hope to see better films from him.

Not a bad film considering the budget that they probably had to work with. It appears that all departments had minimal experience given the various mistakes throughout the film. I especially noticed the poor sense of lighting and camerawork displayed in the film. Another very good example of a new director that should have chosen an experienced Cameraman.
