If you are wanting to check out one of the best examples of early 80's exploitation cinema, look no further than the highly entertaining 1982 cult classic "Raw Force" (a.k.a. Kung Fu Cannibals). This film has it all: female nudity, copius amounts of poorly staged chop socky fight scenes, kung fu zombies, more female nudity, wooden acting, quick pacing, Cameron Mitchell & yet even more female nudity. It's trash of the highest order and highly entertaining. The movie moves along at a brisk 86 minutes and is never boring. I hadn't seen this movie in years and was thrilled to see it get an official blu-ray release courtesy of the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome.

I'm a firm believer that any film no matter how obscure has its fans and deserves to be given a chance to be seen & enjoyed in the highest quality available. Thankfully, "Raw Force" gets an incredible 2k resolution scan from the original 35mm camera negative and is presented in it's original theatrical aspect ratio with the matting opened up ever so slightly from 1.85:1 to 1.78:1. The negative is in surprisingly great shape and no digital scrubbing was done to remove any of the grain so the film retains a nice filmic look with amazing detail present in every frame. There are a few instances where some print damage is visible in some of the slow motion sequences but this appears to be a fault of the original filming methods and not a fault of this HD transfer itself. Colors are deep and very robust. With gratuitous female nudity filling almost every frame, the skin tones look appropriately natural. This movie gets the kind of love and attention in this release that a lot of much more well known films will never get. The audio is presented in 1 channel lossless mono which is how it was heard theatrically.

A group of passengers on a cruise end up stranded on Warrior's Island, a treacherous place inhabited by exiled martial artists and a group of cannibal monks with the power to raise the dead (what a combination!). The passengers, including an L.A. S.W.A.T. team member (Jillian Kesner) and four male martial artists, not only run afoul of the island's inhabitants, they also interfere with a white slaver's business of selling young girls to the monks in exchange for baskets of raw jade. The monks eat the young female flesh and gain the power to raise dead martial artists from their graves (the cruise ship director calls the island, "The Potter's Field of Kung Fu."). While the passengers try to find a way off the island, they must endure gun battles, kung fu fights (with both the living and the dead), cannibalism and the nasty laughing monks (led by Filipino horror staple Vic Diaz). It all ends on a happy note, as most of them escape in the white slaver's plane (he is eaten alive by a school of piranhas) while an end scrawl reads, "To Be Continued...". This is terrific B-movie stuff. It has loads of nudity and plenty of bloody action, including impalements, explosions, an axe to the back and a decapitation. Star Cameron Mitchell (NIGHTMARE IN WAX - 1969 and countless others) seems to be having a good time here and doesn't walk through his role as he has done many times before. Co-star Geoff Binney also appeared in the kung fu comedy HOT POTATO (1976), while Jillian Kesner was the star of Cirio Santiago's FIRECRACKER (1981) and also appeared in her husband Gary Graver's awful ROOTS OF EVIL (1991; Kesner died in 2007 of a staph infection, a little over one year after her husband Graver passed away). She was a pretty thing!Read more ›

I remember seeing this film back on cable tv in the early 1980's and never forgot it. I was only 13 or 14 years old then and it made a huge impression on me. When the blu-ray came out I had to buy it to see if it was as weird as I remembered. Take a group of kung fu badasses. a gang of weirdo thugs led by a German maniac, a clan of cannibal monks, zombie ninjas, hot babes who undress a lot, an old couple that argue all the time, lots of juvenile humor, and low production values and mix in a blender. "Raw Force" is the result of that mish mash of craziness. It was fun seeing it again but was not a good movie by any means. Still, this movie has to be seen to be believed for fans of exploitation cinema.

Blu-Ray Review: The video quality is great for a 35mm restoration but still there is some damage which I love. Perfect picture quality sucks anyways! The audio is good. Special features is a featurette and some audio interview.

Movie Review: This is a nice piece of cinema trash. Though I have seen much better "so bad it's good" films, this is pretty well done. I enjoyed the bad acting, the abundance of hot naked chicks with nice butts and boobs, the martial arts action and the kooky characters. I just wish there was some dismemberment. But whatever.

Conclusion: 5 stars for the Blu Ray and 3 1/2 for Raw Force.

I first saw this movie on the Grindhouse Experience box set, and loved it immediately - An island of undead disgraced martial artists, and the Burbank Karate club? White slavery, and a hitleresque villain? Wow.

When I saw it was on blu-ray, I had to check it out. The grindhouse dvd version looked like it was duped from a beat-up old VHS tape with tracking problems. This blu-ray looks like an entirely different movie! It's suprising how good this looks! A ton of interesting extras make this disc a must buy if you enjoy this sort of thing.
