4.0 out of 5 stars great action & story, April 28, 2007

This review is from: Martial Outlaw [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As always, you can't go wrong with a Jeff Wincott flick. His acting is above par compared to most martial art stars, and his action and on screen presence are always solid. Other notable action stars in Martial Outlaw are Gary Hudson (Road House, Circuit) and Stefanos Miltsakakis (Best of the Best 2, Bloodsport 4).

The story, I thought was rather enjoyable. Wincott plays a worker for the DEA, and comes to LA to help out with a major drug import/export industry, which his brother (Hudson) is also working on. Hudson plays a dirty cop, and as the plot progressed, it was interesting to see what would finally become of him. His betrayal to the LAPD not only affected his work, but his relationship with his brother, father, and wife. Lots of emotions run that add to the intensity of the story.

Martial Outlaw has lots of great action, spread throughout the entire film. Lots of restaurant fights, shop fights, and good one on ones (mainly between Wincott and Miltsakakis). The fights are well choreographed and look great. Most of the fights aren't too short either.

For any Wincott fan, or anyone looking for a good solid martial arts flick, Martial Outlaw is highly recommended. I could easily watch this one over and over.

This review is from: Martial Outlaw [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In the early 90s, a whole glut of great kick flicks arrived, or as I like to call them American chopsocky. The video store walls were lined with this titles, both theatrical realses with the likes of Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the original direct to video stars like Don "the Dragon" Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock. One of the best in the latter category was Jeff Wincott, a Candian martial artist who followed his brother Michael into the film arena (Michael is best known as the main baddie in The Crow), Jeff made many superior fight flicks, with Martial Outlaw being one of his best.

Jeff stars as a DEA agent, who comes home to LA while on a case, o find his father a cripple with a even more crippling drinking problem and his brother, a cop, is on the take. Jeff is there to take down a section of the Russian mob, but his bro is actually in bed with them. The two brothers have some other kinda beef, I'm not totally sure what it was, resentment for abandoning him with there father, or a history with his wife is hinted at.

The story is pretty standard, that's the name of the game with action flicks, each one the same, just dressed up with new violent action scenes. Martial Outlaw dosn't disapoint when it comes to the action, the fights are truely superb, and very exciting. As someone who looks back at this genre with fond memories, Martial Outlaw offers some of the finest.

3.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FIGHT SCENES, PREDICTABLE PLOT, August 10, 2004

This review is from: Martial Outlaw [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The fight scenes, of which there are many, in MARTIAL OUTLAW are choreographed beautifully with some unique and original slants on familiar martial arts moves.
Jeff Wincott looking buffer than ever plays DEA agent Ken White, who is set on bringing down a Russian drug dealer. Gary Hudson is Jack White, Wincott's older brother who is an LA Cop, a cowboy and unfortunately, a very dirty cop. Hudson ends up betraying his brother so he can muscle in on the drug deal and wind up with a million cool ones. Veteran character actor Richard Jaeckel plays their father, a retired cop who wants to be proud of his sons, but has ended up an alcoholic, thanks to his suspicions about his son Jack.
Wincott and Hudson perform sincerely, but the end is predictable. However, the fight scenes work and for a martial arts film, it's above average. Wincott is one of the better heroes of this genre.
