Punhos Assassinos

Really well made for a low budget action film. Great fights. Suspenseful scenes. Good acting. Well paced and directed.

This is a horrible film. Its nothing like the Karate Kid except that it has a kid in it who knows Karate. The plot is paper thin, the acting is cardboard (Corey Feldman included) and character development consists of good guys in white, bad guys in red. The whole film takes itself far too seriously and this is especially evident anytime the overly dramatic soundtrack ques in (good example being the very serious sounding synth music being played during a food fight in a school cafeteria as students smile on). The way the film plays out it feels like they're making it up on the spot. Even the action is boring and safe feeling. Don't waste your time.

Oh my God... what did I just watch? It was as if the people who created the After School Special decided to make an edgy movie that ripped off The Karate Kid. They even used the same music you would likely hear on an After School Special. At least we get to see Corey Feldman ( this films version of Cobra Kai's Johnny) get the crap beat out of him. If you want a good laugh, I highly recommend it!

The first time I saw this film I was thirteen years old,though I never saw it complete and I never knew the title I could never forget about it. To many fans of these kind of films consider this one the karate kid of the nineties,in fact this film is another of the many clones that the karate kid saga has, but this one is darker than the Daniel larusso story.

The story is about a kid who will try to find the guilty of his older brother's death, a path that he will have to go through alone, because the killers made it look as a suicide.

Yesterday I had the chance of watch this film again, is really entertained, with good acting,good story but all about a very realistic and spectacular fight scenes which is the main reason why I haven't forgot about this film

The premise of the film is simple enough: A young martial artist's older brother is murdered by a group of teenage martial artists from a rival school. This film may sound a little redundant, but believe me, it offers some fantastic fight scenes and envokes a real moral issue that might make some people question just how far should one go for revenge. Though this is tagged as an "R" rated film, I want to assure you that this film lacks the same level of violence and language that some PG-13 films sneak by with. The "R" rating is really for the tone of the film. It also has a few dark sub plots about the rival schools sensei being involved in criminal activity such as prostitution and grand theft. All in all this is a must see film for die hard martial art fanatics
