"Superfighter!" (the greatest theme song, ever)

This is such an unbelievably stupid movie. Possibly the worst Seasonal movie I have seen that features English speaking actors. Seasonal did the No Retreat No Surrender movies, American Shaolin, and Bloodmoon. And I have to say that this is my least favorite. The fight scenes are quite good, and there are a lot of really talented action performers, but unfortunately the movie is so stupid it's hard to actually enjoy it. I highly enjoy movies that are so good that they are bad, but this isn't one of them. It starts out with a great cheesy scene showing the lead actor training by practicing his kicks and jumping off trampolines, but the cheese gets lower in quality as the movie goes on. The lead actor has good fighting skills, but he's so tiny and young looking, it's impossible to take him serious. On the positive side, the fights are really good. Cliff Lenderman (the muscular monk from Americal Shaolin), gets a ton of fight time. And when I say muscular, I mean that he is HUGE. And you can tell he is a real martial artist, and probably something of a body builder too. And there are guys who are even bigger than him. Also on hand are the amazing skills of Keith Vitali and Chuck Jefferys. So as long as you don't expect a good movie, just a ton good fights, you will probably enjoy it.

2.5/5 The DVD from Pathfinder has pretty good picture quality, and as always, Pathfinder delivers with the special features, this time with a commentary from producer/writer Keith Strandburg and actor Chuck Jeffreys. It's a real treat. They don't actually do a lot of talking, but good information provided when they do.
