Summary: Winner of the Oscar for BEST PICTURE
Review: . . . is what should read above the title. But, unfortunatly, the acadamy does not think the same way that I do. I believe that this is Roddy Piper's best movie, even better than They Live (which also is great, I suggest you give it a look). Sonny Chiba is great, the story is great, the fighting is great, everything about this movie is, well . . . incredable. Pick this up before it is gone, you will not be unhappy with your selection.

Summary: Terrible piece of trash
Review: Don't listen to that ludicrous 5 star rating, this film is among the worst ever in the world of the martial arts. Roddy Piper just blows and it contains the most poorly choreographed fights I've ever seen for this reason. Chiba gets a chance to show off some impressive swordfighting but that's the only good scene in the whole damned thing and It's about 2 mins long. To see Chiba do something decent check out The Streetfighter.

Summary: roddy piper is so underused!
Review: Overall, I think that this is a great movie when you judge it for what it was. An action movie with a lot of fight scenes and it doesnt pretend to be anything else. Both Piper and Chiba were great in the fight scenes, and had the script although could have been a bit better, wasnt actually that bad. The only problem was that 1 or 2 scenes were badly written, For instance, the scene where Ms. Keeler is caught trespassing and Piper comes to her rescue was annoyingly bad and unnecessary overall. The one surprising thing was the supporting acting was fairly good, with the exception of Deron McBee who needs to go back to American Gladiators. The acting by Piper was quite good as always and i would love to see what he could do with a good script and cast.The best example of Pipers acting was at the beginning of the movie in the inital fight scene which was well choreographed, and quite comical with the addition of Chiba. Overall, I can't say it's one of the best movies ever made, but, as an action movie it's Really good. And anyone who si a fan of They Live will love this.
