खतरनाक खिलाड़ी

The story is OK and so is the acting but your first clue that it's not that great is the fact it's only a $1 and in a cardboard sleeve.

It really is just another Martial arts movie not much to be said. It's from the early 90's and it shows. Not the amount of violence we love to see in todays movies a decade later. Honestly it's not to bad and I'd probably watch it again. Gary Daniels is honestly not a bad actor and is a pretty decent fighter.

So when you judge this movie please realize it's not up to today's standards. It doesn't have big name actors and was probably a low budget film.

This movie has all the martial arts action Gary Daniels fans expect from the master. But, it also has a good story. It moves at a fast pace and there is a fight about every 5 to 10 minutes. The training scenes are awesome! A must see for Gary Daniels fans. Just don't waste your time on the so called sequel.

Not a bad film considering the budget that they probably had to work with. It appears that all departments had minimal experience given the various mistakes throughout the film. I especially noticed the poor sense of lighting and camerawork displayed in the film. Another very good example of a new director that should have chosen an experienced Cameraman.

Gary Daniels has made a number of B-grade martial arts movies that I have enjoyed. Unfortunately, this early effort with him is not among his gems. I am sure he himself is embarrassed by this movie for a number of reasons. Here, he has a haircut (or rather, lack of a haircut) that is unintentionally funny, and he (as well as many of the other actors) have looped their dialogue in the recording studio with voices that often don't match with the mouth movements and body movements of what's on screen. Movie is hastily shot, with very little on screen that you would identify with "American". As for the fights, they are nothing exciting at all. You can safely skip this one.

The acting in this movie is up there with Tommy Wiseau The Room (2003) or Angel Town starring. Olivier Gruner from 1990. I had to pause the movie and laugh a few times.

The hair in this movie is glorious for our two heroes, the brother Randy certainly didn't get the role for his acting skills as if I was the director and had a bad day on set it would cheer me up where I'd believe in this movie again listening to Randy or whatever Gary Daniels actor "act". This made me want to watch the first two seasons of Arrow again. As in the only two watchable seasons.

Alright back to the movie, about 42 minutes in the movie got so silly that I lost any respect in it. Sure I finished it but the 10 year old boy absolutely RUINED the movie. One of them being a tired old cliche, the other being that he helps our hero become a better martial artist. It's like opposite land of the Karate Kid or similar movies where Mr. Miyagi is up on that wooden post doing the kicks and waxing the karate kids car in that decrepit apartment.

The fighting is good, hence higher than a 2 or 3 this deserves, some diverse shots but how the movie ends is just silly. The musical score is OK too for what it's worth. The bad guy was forgetful and there's some plot in there, some, don't get excited, it's far from the complexity of an adult film but who knows I'll probably watch it again for a laugh as the scene of the boy getting saved from a truck is deserving of some sort of youtube highlight reel of over the top silliness.
