One of the most frustrating things that I find true of lackluster movies is that following the passage of time, usually several decades, a film that was initially, and often rightfully, considered a stinker is then later touted as “the original classic!” Generally, these accolades are tied-in with advertising to promote and ultimately sell product and give the uninitiated and the curious a reason to buy the film sight-unseen. Efren C. Piñon’s Blind Rage (1976) isn’t necessarily a bad film, it just isn’t a particularly good one. Despite its 82-minute running time, the film feels twice as long and that’s never a good sign.
Blind Rage is a good example of an interesting premise executed in a fashion that can best be described as pedestrian. A product of 1970’s “chopsocky” cinema, the opening credits play over the vocals of Helen Gamboa singing the title track,...

Tiger Cop is a fine example of the classic 1980’s Chinese Martial Art genre. If you are fans of Yukari Oshima, Moon Lee and Cynthia Rothrock then this right up your street. Tiger Cop is two sets of extravagant trailers which pays homage to them movies and stars which brought us hard-hitting fight scenes over the years.
Maria Tran plays the new inspector on the force and right away she gets into trouble when introduced to her new partner. It’s a very well choreographed fight scene showcasing Maria’s hand to hand combat, the art of blocking and some very nice kicks. Maria really mixes it up, when watching the fights it takes me back to watching movies such as Angels, Outlaw brothers, Yes Madam and more.

Since I’m not the type of suicidal numb skull who enjoys pissing off a family of extremely buff, impossibly intimidating Brazilian brothers skilled in Jiu-Jitsu, I’m going to try to keep my analysis of Leo Fong’s unintentionally hilarious 2003 martial arts epic Brazilian Brawl as bright and shiny as humanly possible. However, since there are very few words in the English language that can positively describe the contents of this hypnotically awful motion picture, you’ll forgive me if I lose my way. Working from a script co-written by cult character actor Geoffrey Lewis, Fong magically transforms the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Nowhere to Run into an oddly political tale of an immigrant farmer’s untimely death at the hands of a cruel white society and the men who seek to pummel those responsible for his murder. Production values are nil, the talent pool void of anyone with...
