Death Machines

Summary: Shining Star
Review: Hard to follow. Very superficial plot.

The only actor/actress with any credibility was the actress playing the Banker's daughter. What action! What dialogue!
Has she acted in any other films???

I'd recognize Stockton anywhere.

Summary: Fun action!
Review: The story is simple. A yakuza type woman takes control of all the gangland killings in her town using three kung fu killers. But the plot throws so many exploitable characters and situations into it, it plays like a fun mix of "Pulp Fiction" and a Road Runner cartoon.

There are cops, gangsters, karate teachers, lovers, bikers, and bartenders. The action sequences are varied and bizarre like the one where the three killers whip out a karate school full of students. Or when one of the killers fights his way out of a police station. Or the three of them take on bikers in a roadside cafe.

There is a hero. A guy who gets his hand cut off in the karate school and goes after the killers. There is even a psycho style ending. Too bad this obviously lower budget film didn't have any stars in it. If it had Travolta and Willis we could have had "Pulp Fiction" 20 years sooner.
