Featured reviews
Don Wilson stars as Jack Dillon, a karate instructor (Also ex-cop) who protects the superstar singer Shanna(Dierdre Immershein) who is the target of a psychotic fan named John Sweet(Mattius Hues), seems Sweet had a love affair with his mom(Eeew!) and Shanna reminds him of mom which is why he kills brunettes and sends their fingers to him. (A true romantic, if there ever was one.) Also on board are the mobsters who look to collect the insurance on Shanna's contract, due to her reluctance to sign again, this all of course leads to a three way fight with Dillon fighting not only the mobsters but also a psychopathic serial killer. Blackbelt is a better than expected martial arts action flick which ripped off 'The Bodyguard' only this time there are a lot of fight sequences and less bad singing. (Although the soundtrack and the 80s music is terrible also) This of course works for the type of angle that the movie aims for. Also the climax in particular is exciting and the movie is packed with gore and enough action to entertain any schlock movie fan. I saw this back in 96 on WGN and because I missed about 20 minutes of it, I decided to rent it the next day. So far it ranks as the only enjoyable flick I've seen from Don Wilson and as a guilty pleasure.

black belt is a good movie it's about a insane martial artist matthias hues who is stalking a singer who hires don wilson to protect her. the movie has a decent plot and good action scenes,especially the climax where wilson takes on hues henchman then finally hues in a final showdown.
so if your a fan of good martial arts flicks then this ones for you.

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.

This movie is amazing. Don the dragon Wilson is like the edward norton of martial arts, he can play any part you give him in a kun-fu movie. And his fast paced action style of fighting is reminiscent of the great chuck norris. God chuck why did you have to go to tv? Don't you know we miss you, please come back. Well at least you have brought the martial arts genre to tv. The best way to describe this movie is enter the dragon meets the matrix meets pulp fiction meets gone with the wind or something because there is a little romance brewing in the air. The first scene of the movie already has martial, arts murder, and brief(and classy) nudity. The movie only gets better from there as it goes on till the end. The end is sooooo good, I won't tell you what happens I will just say that it is like all this fighting and you aren't sure who's going to win and then it ends and you're like whoa no way, did you see that? But you did.
MAN!!! this movie was intense it had tons of action, non-stop thrills and tons of violence this movie should be NC-17 instead of R , this movie went way beyond john woo's films, and way beyond all the violent films that i have seen , this should be rated NC-17 for intense violence, Gore, and some brief nudity and i would give this a **** out of ****
