Full Impact

Almost as good as Samurai Cop, and Godfrey Ho's better ninja movies.

Make sure to watch the uncut version that is 15 minutes longer than the re-edited and butchered US version. Why do they cut movies like this BTW? The Swedish Cult Classic "Thriller: A Grim Story" American Version was almost unidentified.

It's like BBFC in the 1980s when I had to order VHS from The Netherlands. I don't approve cuts.

Full Impact, Full Uncut is Good.

The Cut US version sucks.

This movie is worthless. You can tell it is a unfinished movie. So they added lots of nudity and flashbacks from American Streetfighter 1 to make it a full length movie. But even with all the added on stuff, it still only runs 72 minutes long. It has nothing to do with the original American Streetfighter, which was a good movie. Not even hardcore Gary Daniels fans should waste their time.

My friend went out to the moviestore to rent a video tape. We wanted to see a fighting movie whit Juan-Claude van Damme. On the front of the moviebox was a picture of van Damme.

BUT THE MOVIE SUXS! He wasn´t in it! The movie was awful! My friend went out and drive moped cuz he was so bored!

So don´t see it!

/Gang in Sweden, BURN!

Horrible movie, but quite funny too! Lots of crummy fights, stupid dialog, topless chicks, and a boring story too! It's another one of those so-bad-its-good films, which I always love. But after reading some of the comments on here, I should explain something.

I first watched this film dubbed as American Streetfighter 2 like most of you seemed to have. It was the bonus movie on the other side of the DVD of the first American Streetfighter film. Well if you watch American Streetfighter 2, you'll not only notice it's horribly edited, but it seems to be missing numerous scenes, makes little sense, and has nothing to do with the first film. This is because this is actually the movie "Full Impact" ripped apart with crappy added flashback scenes from the first movie, and called American Streetfighter 2. The problem is that Full Impact was never meant to be a sequel to American Streetfighter. Sure it has some of the same cast, but they're completely different characters and this is a totally new story. Why they did this is beyond me...maybe the thought the movie would do better labeled as a sequel?

Do yourself a favor, go out and buy the actual DVD labeled Full Impact. It's the complete movie with all the correct scenes in place, and without those horrible pointless flashback scenes from American Streetfigher 1. Not to mention the picture quality is much improved. So if you've only seen this as American Streetfighter 2, don't judge this movie yet. See Full Impact, then you'll see the complete film that actually makes sense!

I can sum up this movie in two words: crea tivity. Never before have I seen this kind of style of movie be pulled off so well. Gary Daniels is definitely the next BIG action star. I think that, if this movie were a presidential candidate, it would be the guy that everyone bashes because they don't understand his policy. But you look into the real heart and soul of this film, you will see that originality is more than an understatement.

The storyline and plot, coupled with the awesome photography and sound, just scream film noir. You can tell they were definitely going for those old-school Japanese flicks, much like Tarantino has borrowed ideas from as well. If only this movie would have come out sooner, it wouldn't have had its thunder stolen by the "new wave" of action, pioneered by the Matrix in 1999. This is a prime example of true film-making and action, back in a world where action movies actually had good stories and acting.

10/10. Gary Daniels is a deity.
