This movie has a plot; a drug was manufactured for the purpose of improving food genetically but was found to cause birth defects and therefore was made illegal for use, it is highly addictive and very cheap to make. Thayer(Gary Daniels) was set up by a corrupt police detective to stage a fake death in the ring of his opponent while kick boxing, then they made it appear he really did kill his opponent. He has to run from the cops as well as the drug dealing Japanese gang led by his former sensai. His goal is to stop the shipment of drugs as well as put a stop to the gang. He must battle many villains including his former sensai in an epic match. Decent but somewhat complex plot the bad thing about this movie is the fight scenes are very sluggish at most times and the overall filming quality is horrible. This seems to be a low budget B movie, it is an OK movie but it would not be my first choice to buy. Almost any karate or kick boxing movie tops this as far as fight scenes go, this movie is at times hard to take seriously and is at times laughable with its slow fight scenes.

As near as I can figure out, it has something to do with drugs, deformed babies, kewpie dolls, bad haircuts, bad accents, bad acting, bad editing, David Carradine occasionally mumbling into a phone, stock-footage explosions, and a female DEA agent in really tight jeans.Beyond that, it could be anything.Lots of tremendously boring fight scenes, many of which are so badly choreographed that they look as if the actors were just filmed blocking them out and they never bothered to do a real take.This moronic and boring little flick does have one scene which is worth the price of the DVD:Our Hero (an Adrian Paul manqué, and how pathetic is *that*?) throws a couple of fragmentation grenades onto an LA freeway bridge, causing an enormous (I mean, *far* too big) explosion which knocks down a footbridge in the middle of the jungle somewhere. It may be the most hilariously egregious stock-footage mismatch I've ever seen.

Sure, this movie is low budget, but that doesn't mean it's no good. Gary Daniels is likable in one of his early staring roles. The fighting is almost non-stop from beginning to end. Don't expect Jackie Chan like perfection though. Don't expect oscar calibre acting either. But, most martial arts movie fans will almost definitely like it. I know I did. Also, the training sequence before the kick-boxing match is awesome!

THIS is the pits. From beginning to end, you keep wondering : what the heck is going on ? Who's this guy ? Why are they fighting ? Where is the plot ? IS there a plot ? (Obviously, the answer is : no). The movie is so low-budgeted that they had to use stock-shots inserts from other movies, and the continuity goofs are unbelievable (Come to think of it, the whole movie is a goof). David Carradine is visible three minutes, behind a desk and behind the wheel of a truck. Gary Daniels, who was great in "Twin Dragons", deserves better.
