Featured reviews
A slice of b-movie heaven with ridiculous cheese, 'Blood Debts' is a gem of Philippine cinema. Funny bits come quick & often in an 80's number that looks, feels dated because of it's origins. Wacky sound effects, real ridiculous dialog fueled by crazy dubbing done after the fact. Plus a bare bones story that is equal parts 'Death Wish' & 'The Punisher' on the low end. This is not a good movie, but heck if I didn't have a killer time.
"He's a natural killing machine, Bill!"
A young couple in the park are preyed upon by a gang of "hunters" and shot dead. The father of the girl Mark (Richard Harrison) arrives too late and is shot too, but survives. He tracks down each man relatively easily and takes them out, but doesn't stop there. Kills more random criminals which draws the eye of Bill (Mike Monty) and his right hand man Peter (Jame Gaines) who try to control him. They get Mark to take out their criminal competition and he soon figures it out. Meaning there'll be one last ... Blood Debt ... to settle.
"We've taken over the territory. Recruit more pimps. More pushers."
Mark's skill makes for talk about a "killers instinct" while the actual moments he takes out trash - muggers, rapists, drug dealers - are fun. If you aren't smiling, laughing or grinning due to the action, you will be once the bizarre dubbing, hokey dialog kicks back in. A few scenes highlight the worthless police and more than a few for the Bill & Peter show as things deteriorate in hilarious fashion. Every role here is one note summed up by Mark's wife who's credited as ... "Mark's wife". Plus another lady who's sole reason for existing is too good to give away.
"Well how come he knew that we ... we were after ... his ass!?"
B-movie man "Dick" Harrison gets to be a one man wrecking crew in the Philippines. Short on story, intelligence, high on cheese, I had a great time with 'Blood Debts'. You get a few splashes of blood and one bit of gratuitous female nudity leading up to an ending and title card that has to be seen to be believed. It's somehow the best & worst thing I've ever had the pleasure to lock my eyes on (no joke).

The proper way to end a movie, 10/10. Funniest ending I've ever seen. This review needs at least 150 characters so Im just gonna type random stuff like this.
another silver star production from the Philippines, with Richard Harrison who have no time to act(admitting he can) in this short (less than 80 min)and pitifully "Death Wish" Rip-off,where He must avenge a rape/murder attack on his son and his girlfriend by a bunch of armed thugs.So he put his best red jogging suit(from Lee major bionic time)and kill a lot of people.Simple story with really nothing new in sight.Made by Terry Page and starring also the usual Mike Monty, James Gaines and Ann Milhench. Only Doris Wishman fans could appreciate this one, I'm one of them but it's not funny enough to have great redeeming value.Not worth seeking, but watchable in the good state of mind with few friends if you find it cheap.
Even looking not so hot with an ill advised mustache and showing his 50 years Richard Harrison (Mark Collins) brings this one over the top with an able assist from Jim Gains (Peter). After seeing his daughter gunned down Mark sets out for vengeance which involves vengeance killing followed by a massive amount of additional killing after his lovely wife Yvette (Ann Jackson) is kidnapped. Along the way he is joined by a hit woman partner Liza (Ann Milhench) who does a nice job in the action scenes. The days of having a Pat Woodall, Angelique Pettyjohn, or Pam Grier in a Filipino "B" movie were by 1985 over. Director Teddy Page was a little sadistic and rough edge in this one with some quite graphic scenes, but with the head of the local syndicate Bill (Mike Monty) aided by, in one of his finest roles, Jim Gains as Peter, the real brains of the operation, the story comes together enough to recommend Blood Debt. Richard Harrison isn't quite at his best in this one as his action leading man days were on their last legs. It's a pity that Richard did not have as good of a second career as a character actor as he did in his youth with some great performances including Bob Fleming Secret Agent Fireball.
We need to know the answer. He had been fighting for vengeance for a long time only to be arrested.
