Fúria Sangrenta

Another movie on my Plex watchlist is a spinning back kick to the head from the martial arts pro in the 90's Don The Dragon Wilson.

I actually thought this was a movie with a Karate turnement in it however it felt like a B grade version of The Bodyguard.

Don's character is hired to protect an up and coming rock singer as their is a mad killer on the loose to kill her and make things right for him however with Don on the case its Dpn Its Good. Shes in safe hands and we see a lot of martial arts action.

However this is not something for any kids its a direct adult oriented film as it has nude scenes and sex scenes.

I have to agree with other reviewers here and say yes its one of Don The Dragon Wilson's best films but overall I have seen better martial arts films but you have to think of the time being "92 this ain that bad and has aged ok considering you can tell the coreagreaphed fight scenes.

You can watch this on Plex and Tubi for free.

First of all,this movie contains 10 of the worlds best kickboxers,and i believe that explains why this movie has so much fighting. Some of the fighting scenes are very graphic so this is no movie for those who can't take blood.

The lead role is played by Don "The Dragon" Wilson who plays the good guy.On the other side of the law is the brutal martial-arts killer John Sweet played by "Matthias Hues".(They have one of the coolest fights ever put on film) The fighting scenes in this movie is so brutal that it makes Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee look like two kids having fun.

This is street kickboxing at it's best.

I have seen the 1992 martial arts action movie "Blackbelt" once before, when I had it on VHS tape back in the day. However, I must admit that I have entirely and wholeheartedly forgotten about the storyline. And thus, when I happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck here in 2023, of course I opted to sit down and revisit it.

The storyline in "Blackbelt" is pretty straightforward. It was an adequate script and storyline for a martial arts action movie of this sort. So writers Robert Easter, Neva Friedenn, Paul Maslak and Charles Philip Moore actually put together a fair enough movie here.

There wasn't a whole lot of familiar faces on the cast list, aside from Don Wilson and Alan Blumenfeld. Actor Matthias Hues was a wonderful villain, playing John Sweet, especially with that hair of his.

Why is it that guys wearing leather jackets have to be shirtless beneath the jacket? It just makes people look like douches, yet both Don Wilson and Matthias Hues opted to go that way in "Blackbelt".

Watchable for what it is, "Blackbelt" is a stereotypical early 1990s martial arts action movie.

My rating of "Blackbelt", from directors Charles Philip Moore and Rick Jacobson, lands on a five out of ten stars.

Matthias is the ultimate "bad guy" in this one...and you just love him! He's about the only actor I can think of that you just love to hate. Maybe it's the hypnotic blue eyes, maybe the dimples or maybe its the muscles. Maybe its a combination of all, but he lights up the screen in a way that keeps you coming back for more. Don "the Dragon" Wilson is the "star" of the movie, but Matthias is really the STAR of the movie.

Watch it once, you'll watch it twice...watch it twice, you'll watch it trice...and so on and so on. It's a movie you won't get tired of watching. So when you don't know what you want to watch, watch Black Belt. You'll be glad you did!

Look Don The Dragon Wilson may be a great legitimate fighter but he is terrible on screen in this movie. The movements are slow and the choreography boring and ponderous. he also makes Chuck Norris look like Laurence Olivier in that he has ZERO acting ability and almost no charisma. This is a problem when you are carrying the movie.The singer girl here was annoying and unlikeable but the villain was fairly creepy and well done. Overall this was just a low rent waste of time and no amount of blood or nudity can change that. Watch something else!
