    the best of the first three

    this third film in the series has no relation to the previous two other than the title.it's the best movie of the first three,in my opinion.there's much more action,plenty of pretty good fight sequences,and it's fast paced.the story line was nothing new or original,but it was well done nevertheless there are some exciting moments,and i was drawn into the action.it was almost compelling in parts.of course the bad guys were your typical stock two dimensional characters just like in the previous two films,but sadly,that's almost to be expected.apparently there are at least two more movies in the series,but i think i've had my fill for awhile.for me,No Retreat, No Surrender 3: Blood Brothers is a 6/10

    Where the series retreated and surrendered...

    STAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits

    Will (Loren Avedon) returns to be with his CIA brother Casey (Keith Vitali) at their father's 65th birthday party. However, when the old man is murdered by the evil Franco (Rion Hunter) they are both re-united in a quest for revenge...

    When the movie opens, we see a foiled bank hold-up where American Imperialism self-righteously prevails when we see that the gangs agenda appears to be against American-imposed wars abroad. From there, we're left to gawp at just how much charisma Avedon actually had and how sad it was that he never moved on to bigger and better things. His delivery's a little ropey, but other than that, he's a spot on action star. Hunter in the bad guy role also has a genuine presence to him that is typical of DTV action fudd of the time that this movie was released.

    From here, we see what is essentially a very weak film. It's predictable, clichéd, simplistic and lazy. But, for fans of the past two films, who get a kick out of the hammy over-acting, corny 80s soundtracks and the cleverly choreographed martial arts sequences, it may just pass muster all the same, but it is an undeniably wise final edition to the series. **

    Sweet Surrender

    Loren Avedon and Keith Vitali star as two martial arts expert brothers ho team up to take down the ruthless murderers who squashed their father. Lot s of martial arts battles are waged in the course of this film. Loren Avedon is a gifted martial artist and watching him fight is ultimately the real show to watch. He actually has somewhat of a screen presence and his acting while admittedly not very good is still better than his co-star Keith Vitali. What finds most strange about No Retreat No Surrender 3:Blood Brothers, aside from the obvious fact that it has nothing to do with the first (Sadly there is no ghost of Bruce Lee) or second (I guess, since I haven't seen it) is that it makes literally no dramatic sense on any level. There are so many scenes of gleeful stupidity that you can't help but cave and enjoy the movie as such. The action sequences are however are what make this thing great to watch. The action sequences are thrilling and in a Z-grade martial arts thriller, that is all that counts. I recommend it as a perfect way to avail yourself in glorious ass-kicking, that is why this movie is so enjoyable.

    Just For Laughs

    I've seen this movie before, but most recently over-dubbed in Spanish (I do not speak the language). It is honestly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen when you don't understand a word. Then again, this was on at about 2am, so I may have been deliriously tired, but inspired enough to write this review at 4am. The acting is beyond horrible - but the scenes with the white haired terrorist were so over the top that I laughed until I cried. Besides being the silliest looking bad guy, he appears to be playing right to the camera. This is worth it just for the laughs, though there are brief segments of reasonably talented martial arts moves - only to be ruined by any attempt at acting.

    Don't Mind the Acting

    This was to me the best movie in it's 5 part series you can say. Two brothers constantly at each others throats until their father dies, which eventually brings them together. Ron Hunter displayed some very good martial arts techniques. The acting was not that good at all, but then would you rather have good acting and bad fight scenes (Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolution, Cradle to the Grave) or bad acting good fight scenes ( Blood Moon, Super Fighter, and Drive). If you are not an acting snob then please by all means give this a shot. If acting plays a big part to you then I would say don't really bother, but if you like good fight scenes this is a definite looker.

      The Australian DVD release has additional dialogue between Will and John Alexander as opposed to the U.S. release, which cut down some of the dialogue.
