4.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential cheeseball martial arts flick!! June 9, 2003

By The Poe Toaster

Format:DVD

When I was ten years old, I had no idea what martial arts were. All I knew was about something called "karate" where people wore funny suits and tried to chop boards in half with their hands. Then one day I stayed home sick from school (5th grade) and saw this film on Showtime. That was 21 years ago and I've been an avid martial artist ever since. If you're a grown-up film snob, then yeah, avoid this film. But it's perfect for kids. It's true that the acting is ultra-cheese and the plot is a formulaic ripoff of "Enter the Dragon," but kids don't care about that kind of stuff. This movie makes an effort to educate the young viewer as to what the martial arts are all about (despite the title, which is NOT what the martial arts are all about), taking time to specifically narrate about different martial arts styles and even the meditative/spiritual side of the martial arts. The fight scenes are totally unrealistic (if memory serves me, some dude jumps over a helicopter at one point) but SO WHAT!! ...This is a kids' movie!! Don't expect it to be Cannes Film Festival material!! You rent a martial arts film from 1981 with actors you've never heard of--what did you expect!!?? This movie is good old 80's cheeseball martial arts flick fun! It really is a classic in that regard.

4.0 out of 5 stars Karate comrades save the free world. May 28, 2000

By Jimmy Strickland

Format:DVD

A scientist has discovered how to convert potatoes into fuel, however an unfortunate by-product is a mind control drug. Marduk, an evil madman kidnaps the scientist, and plots to take control of the world by tainting the water supply with this drug. Leaders of the free world approach Steve Chase and his band of elite mercenaries and hire them to free the kidnapped scientist, destroy the mind control drug, and rid the world of the evil Marduk. This martial arts adventure stars James Ryan as Steve Chase, martial arts champion and leader of the elite mercenary group. The mercenaries consist of "The Fly" (Stan Schmidt), a martial artist who has reached the esoteric heights of martial learning; Gypsy Billy (Norman Robinson), "ex-champion of the world" and reluctant derelict; Gorilla (Ken Gampu) former pro wrestler banded for biting the ear off defeated opponents; and Hot Dog (Bill Flynn) con artist and comic relief. Joining this group is Kandy Kane (Anneline Kriel, former Miss World), the supposed daughter of the kidnapped scientist Dr. Kane, later exposed as an agent working for the government. Chase and his team infiltrate Marduk's compound, known as the "New Babylonia", but before they can liberate Dr. Kane and destroy the drug, they are discovered and taken captive. Each member of the team must face one of Marduk's karate trained soldiers, with Chase facing Marduk's "champion of champions", the "Optimist" in a battle to the death. "Kill and Kill Again" is a feel good action/adventure that the whole family can enjoy. This movie is a tongue-in-cheek swashbuckler that sometimes pokes fun at itself. There is no graphic violence or offensive language, just good clean escapism.

5.0 out of 5 stars EEEEEYAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! January 28, 2003

By A Customer

Format:DVD

This movie is so awesome,it makes me foget about the cheesey acting.I tried everywhere to find this,and I'm now in the process of getting my hands on a dvd of it from amazon.The fight scenes look top notch and these guys are tough.The story is the usual man tries to take over the world formula,but it's the characters that are cool-Fly,Gorrilla,Gypsy and Hotdog.Cool martial arts champion James Ryan plays the leader of the group.Watching these guys infiltrate the evil dictator's compound is hysterical as they're not the best at this.There are several well choregraphed fights leading to the great ending.Each member of the group has to fight in a tournament against the dictator's fighters.It's one of those few stand out classic martial arts movies.

1.0 out of 5 stars Campy movie classic from the 80s, DVD does not live up to it December 8, 2003

By Matthew Hamby

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I remembered this movie from daytime HBO in the early 80s. I was on a forum and we were discussing favorite martial arts movies, and I suddenly remembered this "classic". A poor man's(dirt poor, bordering on destitute) version of Enter the Dragon, it has average martial arts until the very end, when there are a couple of good scenes in the final arena battles. When I saw that it was on DVD, I immediately ordered it. The movie was just like I remembered it, and it is worth the $10. However, the print of the film is very poor, with certain parts very grainy or dark. The character of "Gorilla" played by Ken Grampu has no distinguishable facial characteristics at times. There isn't even a menu on the disc - both the quality of the disc and the quality of the print make it like you are watching a 20 year-old VHS tape. Plus, there's a picture on the back of the DVD case with two women (one of them with her shirt open and black censor circles over her nipples) that isn't even in the movie. By all means get it if you remember this campy classic and your VHS has worn out. My one star rating on this is for the DVD itself, not the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars 42nd Street Memories March 1, 2010

By David M. Goode

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I remember seeing this film as the kids today say "back in the day",when 42nd Street was still the deuce.When you could put down a fiver and see 3 features for your money.Usually two martial arts movies and a women in prison flick.For those of you who weren't around to live through the experiance,buy a copy of the Last Dragon and watch the scene when Sho'Nuff makes his entrance.That's truly how movie theatres on the deuce were back then.But I digress.Kill and Kill Again has been one of my favorite western martial arts films since forever.Unlike Enter The Dragon this is a true team-up adventure.Sort of like the western film,The Professionals,but without the guns.James Ryan stars as martial arts champion Steve Chase who is recruited to rescue a scientist who has been kidnapped by a billionaire who has dreams of taking over the world.The scientist has developed a formula made from potatoes that can sap a persons will.The villian also has at his disposal a small army of martial artists led by a Ben Davidson look-alike known as the Optimist.Chase puts together his own team to save the scientist and thwart the villian.This film is great cheesy fun with a plot as Jim Kelly would say "comes right out of a comic book".The fight scenes are effective,and lets face facts that's why anyone goes to a martial arts movie.The one negative is the lead character isn't a real martial artist himself.He's a good athlete with a good physique and good screen presence,but you get the impression that just about anyone on his team(especially the characters called the Fly and Gypsy Billy)could take him apart.Still I recommend this film to anyone who likes martial arts movies.It's a lot of fun.
