Martial arts superstar Cynthia Rothrock is Kristi Jones, a member of a local street gang who waits tables to send her younger sister, Karen, to med school. When funds are short, she returns to what she knows best-street fighting. But when Karen is suddenly found murdered, Kristi is determined to avenge her death, venturing into seedy corners of the city to bring the deranged killer to justice. This Hong Kong-style fight flick (shot in the US) has rightly earned cult classic status for Don Niam's over-the-top performance as Stingray, a psychopathic Kung Fu master who murders young women and saves their eyeballs in his fish tank. Color, 95 minutes, Martial Arts, Rated R, Anamorphic Widescreen Format (1.78:1), Includes Original Th! eatrical TrailerSWORN TO JUSTICE - DVD MovieAction diva Cynthia Rothrock stars as a former big-city cop determined to both avenge her father's murder and succeed him as county sheriff in this entertaining action vehicle. The good-natured cross between
Billy Jack and
The Candidate doesn't exactly break new cinematic ground, but the martial-arts prowess of five-time world kickboxing champion Rothrock, frequent Jackie Chan collaborator Richard Norton, and hunky newcomer Keith Cooke (who would later star as the malevolent Sub-Zero in the
Mortal Kombat films) more than compensates for the threadbare production values and some voluminous plot holes. For extra fun, try to count the number of times a certain thudding sound effect is recycled (hint: It's in the high double digits). Director Robert Clouse is no stranger to the martial-arts genre, having directed both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan in their American debuts (
Enter the Dragon and
The Big Brawl! , respectively). Every election campaign should have this ! much ful l-contact mayhem. This full-frame DVD includes the original trailer, production notes, and cast and crew bios.
