Rischio di morte

We are now in the fourth part of the BLOODFIST series and personally I would suggest just thinking of this as just a Don 'The Dragon' Wilson movie. This one teeters right into silliness, but somehow it still works and I actually found this one engaging and in the end even good. Yes, it borrows some ideas from greater films and in certain scenes I was getting vibes from those films like DIE HARD, FRANTIC and even TOTAL RECALL. Very 90s action flick as there are endless slow-mo action scenes.

Wilson plays Danny Holt who is a repo man. What is interesting is I can actually believe that in a 90s action movie sort of way with his ability to use martial arts. Problem is he has repossessed the wrong car of an arms dealer named Weiss (Kale Browne). Trouble starts a brewin' pretty quickly as corpses are left in his wake as he wants some nuclear triggers that are disguised as chocolates. Soon Danny's daughter Molly (Heather Lauren Olson) is kidnapped and he must try and save her life while keeping a step ahead of the local cops, the FBI and the CIA. Also starring Amanda Wyss and James Tolkan.

This sequel to "Bloodfist" was not my very favorite. I thought the third one was a slight downer, this one was the lowest. The action of the movie was there, but the plot was major stinker. Being convicted of killing a policeman in a traffic accident is bad enough. But when the details are sketchy, there's a chance of high hopes for the character to regain control of his life. When heard most of the details, I hear that the police officer that died in the crash, was drunk. That can clear Danny Holt(Don "The Dragon" Wilson) of vehicular manslaughter, however, more rogue cops hamper his chances on redemption. This police Lt. Garcia(Liz Torres) is terrible. She won't listen to anything. She is so hardened against Danny, she don't care about anything else. Maybe one day, she'll learn the truth about open her eyes, and see the error of her views. The action scene remain intact, and the the kitchen scene is unforgettable. Especially when the young woman gets burned on the stove during the fight with Danny. This movie was fine, it just a little downhill there. 1 out of 5 stars.

if you like b-grade martial arts movies than this ones for you,it's about danny holt a repo man who grabs the wrong car he's suppose to get. when he takes the car back to his work and ducks out for a minute the owners of the car turn up and murder everybody(because their after somthing very dangerous and valuable inside the car) danny is then framed for the murders,his daughter kidnapped ,and the real killers thinking he has what they want and trying to ransom her back to him for the weapon. this movie has a good plot for a martial arts flick so if you like these kinds of movies then give it a watch,you wont be dissapointed.

this movie was later remade by wilson,the movie is called moving target and doesnt even compare to this one,so steer clear!

This is only the second Don "The Dragon" Wilson I've seen so far (after "Cybertracker"), and what I can say is that what he lacks in acting charisma he makes up for in action intensity. For the genre it belongs to, this movie actually has a fairly complex plot (as the hero observes, most characters assume a false identity at one point or another), and several fight scenes which are shot in a close-quarters, hard-hitting, down-to-earth style (much more streetfighting than high-flying here). Wilson's two encounters with another genre star, Gary Daniels, are pure B-movie gold (Daniels fans beware: he has a very small role here, almost a cameo). Cat Sassoon also impresses as a wicked villainess with a tight black outfit, a switchblade as her favorite weapon and quite a bit of kicking flexibility. When I checked out her page on IMDb, I was shocked to find out that she had passed away in 2002. It's a shame that she never got a chance to make a film with Cynthia Rothrock - those two going at it would have been another B-movie classic! Anyway, as low-budget American martial arts films go, this one is pretty good. (**)

This time everybody's favorite charisma-less kickboxing champ (Don Wilson, to anybody not acquainted with him) is a repo-man who gets a hold of nuclear triggers which the bad guys want to sell for lots of cash, they also abduct Wilson's daughter and are willing to make an exchange (Although considering how obnoxious the child is, I would have just asked for cash instead of the kid.) and if anything else Bloodfist IV proves that it takes a lot of kickboxing to save the world and your daughter. Bloodfist IV is the type of movie that you just love despite how stupid and insane it is. From Wilson's constipated acting to bad guys who rip off their shirts without a moments notice, Bloodfist IV could possibly be cinema's greatest hour, at least in terms of guilty pleasure. Of course the best line of the movie is when asked, where the nuclear triggers are, Wilson replies "I ate them!" it is zaniness like this that make the idea of sitting through a Bloodfist marathon not so painful to the brain. Even if my IQ drops well below 40. To explain how zany this movie is, consider that the terrorists hide nuclear triggers in chocolate! Genius!
