Will I watch it again? No.

Normally I don't watch classic chop socky movie in fullscreen format but this is the only way I could see it.  It's part of a Grindhouse Experience 20 movie set from Fortune 5 and I'm determined to watch everything in it for some stupid damn reason.  It's OK.  There's nothing special about it.  The English dub is at times ridiculously ameteurish as the often were and the fight scenes aren't memorable.  The story is pedestrian and one used time and time again.  The only fun thing about it was the hero's mother looks to be the same age as him.  Hilarious.  I've got a shelf filled with widescreen classic so it pains me to watch a sub-par presentation like this when I've got guaranteed gold just a few feet away.  Oh, well.  That's the life of an obsessed movie fan, right?
