Difficile caso per il tenente Long

What an amazing movie this is ... a true classic masterpiece! Inspiring dialogues and amazing martial arts techniques will take your breath away ... Highly recommended! I really look forward to see a remake of this movie with the original cast (if they're still alive and well) . Many action movies that are more popular and well-known are more or less based on the plot of Kill Point ... the plot is one of a kind;originality is one of the qualities of this movie that is clear to see. Let us hope that this movie company will produce more brilliant products like these and enjoy other great movies featuring Leo Fong in the meantime ... Last but not least I would like to propose the concept of a sitcom based on this movie;that would be truly amazing ...

Killpoint is a standard violent action flick from the 80's. It's about a criminal gang who steal weaponry from the National Armoury and then sell it on to various hoods, while still finding time themselves to go around annihilating a variety of unfortunate people. A Chinese cop is put on the case to track them down.

This is an entertaining actioner which is somewhat rough around the edges it has to be said. It's poorly edited throughout in a manner that often doesn't make it too clear what is happening in certain scenes. But it has enough bloody violence and martial art fighting to ensure it's never boring. B movie stalwart Cameron Mitchell plays the gang lord who is combines his crime boss role with a penchant for sadistically killing women, while lovingly fawning over a small pet poodle. Richard Roundtree's name is prominent on the poster but he's hardly in it, it's more Leo Fong's movie - I hadn't even heard of him – and he puts in a stony-faced and decidedly uncharismatic performance while sporting an impressive pudding bowl haircut throughout. But best of all is Stack Pierce who plays the menacing character Nighthawk, who is Mitchell's sidekick/enforcer – he is a convincing bad ass and his performance is very committed.

On the whole this is quite middling fair though. Certainly entertaining enough but just don't expect too much.

This movie is on the slow side for me. There's action and plot. But there's a lot of killing in it. Leo Fong plays a cop who goes after a violent gang who raped and killed his wife. Stack Pierce play the stoic gun runner and killer who hires and fires the people who have helped him. Richard Roundtree plays the Fed who helps the police find the killer. The martial arts scenes are always for me. The fight scene however is slow and stiff. Very effective.

It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie as well. Too many flaws. It needs a lot of work. It looked more like a documentary than a flick.

2 out of 5 stars.

This movie is very violent, yet exciting with original dialog and cool characters. It has one of the most moving stories and is very true to life. The movie start off with action star Leo Fong as a down and out cop who is approaching the end of his career, when he stumbles on to a big case that involves corruption, black mail and murder. This is where the killings start. From start finish Fong delivers in this must see action caper. This movie also co-stars Richard Roundtree.

I really enjoyed this film as a child but as I got older I realized that this film is pretty cheesy and not very good. I would not recommend this film and the action is very, very bad.

Some good fight scenes and stunts. The big disappointment is we only see Bill Wallace for maybe 30 sec on screen sparring with the main character. Bill W. was a legend, a karate guy back in the 80's. The movie is very slow until the end when they bust the bad guys. I'm a big fan of B movies but this is one belongs in the dollar discount bin at the local rental store.It's a pity they didn't have Bill Wallace go up against the bad guys, he's a great martial artist.
