One of those 80's low budget B-movies I remember watching on VHS back in its glory days. All the cast are unknown except for Cameron Mitchell. A lot of the scenes in this hilariously bad American karate-fu flick make you howl, here are a few I have spotted:
1. Whenever the fighting kicks in, jazzy background music starts playing.
2. The blows and kicks all have "whack" and "yap" sounds like those heard in badly dubbed kung fu films.
3. There is one scene when one of the kill squad members is pushed by two goons from the roof of a four-storey building and falls dead on top of a parked car. When the goons reach said car to get rid of the body, it is missing. The man (who is supposed to be dead) suddenly appears unscathed and says "Looking for me?"
4. In every scene where one or more of the kill squad members get into trouble, the random people they meet seem to have an appetite for destruction, even the women. Everybody in this film is kung fu fighting!
5. The film climax has an utterly ridiculous twist!
6. During the final fight when the mysterious bad guy's face is revealed, his face is shown black and blue and three of his teeth are impressed on his lips without any rhyme or reason. The problem is that these are done by bad make-up!
7. The one-liners and dialogues are equally bad. In one scene:
Joseph: I realize the police are not going to help. We gonna have to take these matters into our own hands. Assemble the squad.
Larry (Joseph's Vietnam War buddy, chuckling): Alright, now you're talking Joe They owe you, I owe you. Hell, we all owe you!
And in every scene when each of the kill squad members is being summoned, this line is repeated: "Joseph needs you!"
If you need a good laugh, KILL SQUAD comes recommended to relieve your stress!
