RUMBLE is a very low budget martial arts film from Mexico which was designed as a vehicle for British martial artist Gary Daniels. Daniels plays the usual washed-up tournament fighter whose girlfriend is kidnapped by a sinister crime boss who then forces our hero to fight just to keep her alive. The first thing you notice about this film is the low budget, which means that it has a cheap, on-the-street look without much in the way of special effects. The second thing is that the action is pretty decent. Daniels is one of those reliable fighters who doesn't let the advance of years slow him down; he still looks great when fighting on screen and has obviously stayed in shape. The film's fight choreography is sufficiently brutal to be exciting, and there's rarely a slow motion despite the B-movie feel of it all.
