I just love the No Retreat, No Surrender series. All three movies are great. Even though the actors are mostly totally unknown, the budgets aren't that huge and they're generally not that well-known, it fun and entertainment from start to finish. This particular installment in the series sees Loren Avedon from the previous movie teaming up with Keith Vitali. The opening scene with Vitali is hilarious, and you start wondering if you're watching a slapstick comedy. That's the level this movie is at, it's an extremely easygoing piece of action movie which delivers the goods when it comes to the fight scenes. As always they are truly great, and way better than most other movies of both past and present. It looks to be inspired of the wirework from Hong Kong, and the execution is satisfactory.

I'm going to write a short review, as this title does not worth more than few lines...The plot is simply primitive. I can't be more positive about it. Though the close combat fights are choreographed pretty well, the whole movie is a joke. The directing is so bad that it hurts me.Just an example: in the final scene, when the terrorists are trying to take down the president the Alexander brothers come to save the day. Casey has a broken wrist and his wrist is in a plaster. This fact does not set him back to fight and use that wounded fist. While his young brother, Will got a shot into his shoulder and then Will is fighting with a wide smile on his face with his shot shoulder... Even Will is hanging on at the back of the escaping car with his overshot arm/shoulder.In another scene at the hangar, where Casey and his girlfriend was kept as prisoners, the terrorists were shooting at them from 5-10 meters distance with automatic guns/UZIs. Of course, no bullets reached the main actor...These were only 2 ridiculous scenes from the movie. The whole movie is full of this kind of badly directed scenes.I'm deeply sorry to say it, after watching the No Retreat, No Surrender 2, but this follow-up was the worst I have seen so far. (I'm 26 at the time, when writing this review.)The only reason why I gave this title 2 out of 10 is the fact that Loren Avedon is funny and incredibly cool when fighting and the fighting scenes are good and entertaining.

Loren Avedon unleashes a full six pack, no make that 30 pack of butt kicking action in the third installment of the series. This movie is about family, its also about the laundry list of dead or permanently injured stunt men in this flick. People get attacked in this movie like I've never seen and you may have to rewind certain shots about a million times cause there too priceless. Like when Loren Avedons dad in the movie is taking on the thugs in his house, and he Leaps at one guy and knocks him so ridiculously far off the set its...well its amazing is what it is. This movie has so many lines and fighting that you just don't have time to rest its a constant bombardment of plot twist and foot and fist. The fighting is shot furiously fast too, this movie makes a lot of other martial arts movies look slow. And the ending...well thats just a whole nother scaffolding story. If your a fan of the late eighties early nineties kick-boxing action genre then look no further, this movie along with part two and king of the kick-boxers are some of the best. Loren Avedon for life. Don't rent this OWN it.

STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits Will (Loren Avedon) returns to be with his CIA brother Casey (Keith Vitali) at their father's 65th birthday party. However, when the old man is murdered by the evil Franco (Rion Hunter) they are both re-united in a quest for revenge...When the movie opens, we see a foiled bank hold-up where American Imperialism self-righteously prevails when we see that the gangs agenda appears to be against American-imposed wars abroad. From there, we're left to gawp at just how much charisma Avedon actually had and how sad it was that he never moved on to bigger and better things. His delivery's a little ropey, but other than that, he's a spot on action star. Hunter in the bad guy role also has a genuine presence to him that is typical of DTV action fudd of the time that this movie was released.From here, we see what is essentially a very weak film. It's predictable, clichéd, simplistic and lazy. But, for fans of the past two films, who get a kick out of the hammy over-acting, corny 80s soundtracks and the cleverly choreographed martial arts sequences, it may just pass muster all the same, but it is an undeniably wise final edition to the series. **
