This may well be he worst martial arts movie ever captured on film. No one knew any karate and they had some old dude that looks like Chiun from Remo Williams teaching the kid complete nonsense. The fight scenes made no sense nor did anything else in the movie.

Warning: Spoilers
Five movies into the Fabrizio De Angelis-directed, Olga Pehar-written saga that is Karate Warrior and I really don't want it to stop.
Larry Jones (Ron Williams) may have triumphed at the end of the last movie, but the odds are stacked up yet again. His enemy Joe Carson (Christopher Alan) has a double-fanged assault. He's kidnapped Larry's girl Betty (Dorian D. Field) and put the blame on his friend Leo (Scotty Daffron), who has joined the Extra Large Club of America with his new girlfriend Bobbi Lou. As if that's not enough, the second part of his plan is paying off another martial artist, the monstrous Alabama Bull, who is played by Marty Wright, who one day would be known as the WWE superstar The Boogeyman (he's also a football player in two well-remembered films, Butler in The Replacements and Beastman in Any Given Sunday).
As the movies in this series go on, there's less and less karate. This one is no different, as much of it is spent watching Leo try and lose weight while making fun of the obese, Betty bound in a trailer and there's our hero, training in a strip mall like he's an indy pro wrestler.
Luckily, he gets thirty seconds of training from his teacher, Mr. Masura (Richard Goon) before he goes into final battle.
You know, there's a TV series of Karate Warrior and they share cast and crew. Part of me thinking that they just filmed everything all at once and the TV series is just a longer version of the movies, like how there's a six-hour cut of Yor Hunter from the Future that blows away the actual film.
You have no idea what I paid for those TV episodes. You have even less idea what I would pay for the Karate Warrior series.
