Appropriately described by its otherwise very competent and always cool director, Brian Trenchard-Smith, as a "mess" that "put the final nails in the coffin" of his career, what was to be a high camp genre joke based around the familiar The Most Dangerous Game scenario became just as notorious and bizarre an exploitation film as its adopted schlock brethren. Pacing is terrible, action sequences are lifeless as a housewife at midnight, and anti-climax is the operative word. BUT it does have timid trooper Olivia Hussey, and the awesome Lynda Stoner providing much more than a handful of eye-candy, both trying keep it real amongst all the impalements, bulldozer chases, exploding heads, fish guts, fist fights, and brush fires, and my god is it fun as free money!
Oh, and there's also a Dr. Moreau reject in a top hat who likes to eat human toes and body slam on command.

Though the production was troubled with last minute script evisceration, money problems, suffocating time constraints, and somewhat hesitant performances, the end result must be seen to be believed.

KICKBOXER FROM HELL (1992) - white guys version

From madman Godfrey Ho, and master of the no budget cut-and-paste hack job, Joseph Lai, comes this martial artless laughter-piece theater of pain and paranormal activity, suitable for framing...for the murder of your belief in logic and order!

They've taken a Chinese ghost film from the '70s and interpolated deliciously inane fighting sequences with a bunch of white guys in the early '90s, slap on a bit of of music from Halloween, stitch in a very flimsy connecting thread and give you a genre concoction of backyard swill worthy of blue ribbons and gold stars. I can't identify the Chinese footage except for the fact that it stars the gorgeous Nora Miao (Bruce Lee's first three films, most notably Way of the Dragon), but I think it could be 1975's THE OBSESSED. Anyone?

I've compiled all the '90s footage in four easy to view installments.
Oh, and if you think that the guy playing Lucifer is actually two different guys? Yeah, that was on purpose. Apparently. You will not believe how easy it is to destroy him. You just won't.
