This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. My grandpa and I used to watch Kung fu movies together, we loved them. He ipassed away about 10 years ago So this was a very sentimental trip down memory lane because I forgot all about this movie. Thank you.
What I love about these movies is that the makers just hired a bunch of legit Martial Artists with zero acting abilities & gave them one takes only. Like, the Ultra-Mullet guy at the beginning is Jerry Trimble, a legit World Champion, he's also in a movie called Breathing Fire (highly recommend) featuring Bolo and Short Round from The Temple of Doom. Keith Cooke whose training the hero is also legit, movie makers back in the day said he was just as quick with his legs as Bruce Lee was with his hands, he's also in several Cynthia Rothrock movies. They're just great!
So, I became curious about Billy Blanks’ martial arts pedigree and found this (excerpt) from the website Martial Arts And Entertainment: “Blanks was born in Eerie, Pennsylvania in 1955 and grew up as one of 15 children. As a child he battled dyslexia and an anomaly in his hip joints that impaired his movement. As many before him he watched Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet and this got him excited about martial arts. In spite of his physical issues, Billy began training in the martial arts when he was around 12 years old. He went on to achieve Black Belts in Tae Kwon Do (7th Degree) and in kung fu (4th degree). He is a 7 Time World Karate Champion who was nationally ranked from 1982-1989 by Karate Illustrated. Billy was the 1975 Amateur Athletic Union Champion and that year he was invited to try out for the US Karate Team. After fighting in 24 matches in one day, he made the team. By 1980 he was Captain of the US Olympic Karate Team, a Member of the US Karate Team, and he won 36 gold medals in international competition. In 1982, Billy Blanks was honored by induction into the Karate Hall of Fame. He was the 1984 Massachusetts Golden Gloves Boxing Champion and the Tri-State Golden Gloves Champion of Champions. Billy Blanks was the number 1 or number 2 rated full-contact karate fighter in the United States for almost seven straight years. He posted over 300 career victories. His epic battles with Steve “Nasty” Anderson are legends among martial arts fans.” Great video as always. Also, how do you know Dick Clark wasn’t making videos in Thailand in the 90s just not for audiences? Hey yo…
Who could've guessed that training to block the "Ewok" traps from "Return of the Jedi" was the secret to defeating "Billy Blanks"? Just the fact that I get to ask that question is why this channel is AWESOME! Great episode!
Great video. This felt so direct to VHS, but Jason’s ability to A) recognize a name and B) what that person has been in blows my mind every time. I can barely remember or keep my kids names straight and he’s pulling down C listers in D listing films from memory. In awe
I'm like that too, despite the fact that my memory is generally bad For me it's because I rarely forget a face and when I remember a face I can usually remember where I saw them.
Both of my parents passed away around this time last year and your channel has been a great comfort. My mom would listen patiently to the plot lines of shitty films I thought, at the time, were just awesome. Crappy films have a place in my heart and it is a lot of fun to watch your group, sometimes, torture yourselves for our entertainment. Thanks for the channel.
This was a great movie. I remember watching it on HBO. Fun fact: the guy that teaches homie how to beat Billy Blanks played Reptile in the OG Mortal Kombat and Sub Zero in Annihilation
The Mullet guy in the new york raid scene is Jerry Trimble, he's in a bunch of movies and was a legit kickboxing champion, his real life fights were like movie fights with amazing spinning and flying kicks. He's still working in hollywood as an actor and also a stuntman and fight choreographer, he's even worked with Tom Cruise designing fight scenes for some of his movies. he's amazing.
Jerry Trimble was also in the Robert DeNiro/Al Pacino movie Heat. Another movie for Jason to watch is Terminator Woman, with Jerry, Karen Shepard and Michel Qissi-Tong Po from the first 2 Kickboxer movies and Lionheart..
The training montage also makes me think of "No Retreat, No Surrender". I can see why this movie would be considered a sequel to that. But since it isn't a ghost teaching him that's why it has the other two titles.
@@JasonBrant no retreat no surrender 2 and 3 both have loren avedon they are connected Keith vitali is Loren's brother in no retreat no surrender 3 blood brothers
The dude playing the master is the same guy that played Reptile in the Mortal Kombat movie. Was a real treat watching this one, I've seen it half a dozen times myself but it's always better watching other people laugh at it.
Billy Blanks stars in The Showdown that I sent you a month ago. It is a Karate Kid knockoff but the kids look like they are 30 years old. It has some other recognizable actors in it as well.
Billy Blanks started martial arts training when he was a kid to help him combat some kind of movement disorder if I recall correctly, or just some form of illness as well as being a way to help him be less shy an timid. He has serious experience with Karate, Taekwondo, and Muay Thai, all of which he put together in his Taebo. (Which I'm sure I misspelled.) Needless to say there's nothing shy or timid about him now! As someone with martial arts experience as well as a movement disorder (as well as other disabilities) I have a lot of respect for him and I hope to accomplish my own goals as a martial artist with that kind of inner strength and serious discipline. I'm hoping I can get to a point where I can train more regularly and one day teach.
He had Dyslexia and was a very shy and insecure kid so he started doing martial arts to build confidence. He didn't know he had Dyslexia until his 30's.
@@AlienoidGamer I'm glad you brought this up because I had a feeling I was incorrectly remembering some of the details, but either way that's still pretty interesting. :)
@@loneronin6813 he's definitely a prime example of dyslexia having no real impact on someone's success - he overcame it, made bank and helps thousands of people lose weight and get into shape
I remember parts of this movie. The combo move Billy Blanks does, I remember vividly but I don't remember the snuff film subplot. I was about 8 though...
@@JasonBrant The Mullet King, was a kickboxing champion named Jerry Trimble. He was in a lot of B-Movies in the nineties and a cop in the Al Pacino movie Heat.
I remember my friend turned me on to this movie in junior high. It is my ultimate guilty pleasure movie. I think this is Billy Blanks first movie with a major role. By the time I was in high school he graduated to good guy.
Dude that stunt at the 21:16 mark where he flips up holding onto the bamboo and Billy Blanks kicks it. Mortal Kombat ('95) stole that! It was during the Scorpion VS Johnny Cage fight! Man it's amazing how much all these martial arts movies take from each other. Idk why that got me so Jazzed, but as soon as I seen it I was like "Jason will appreciate this!" Anyways you guys enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Wow. The older brother was played by Michael DePasquale Jr....a legit martial artist. I knew I recognized him. Thanks for showing us this turd of a movie. Blanks is at least a 7th degree black belt in Taekwondo. Internet says he's black belt in 4 or 5 other arts, but I don't know which ones.
Thank you Jason, this gave me the laughs that I needed. It’s been a rough week healthwise, but I always can smile when I watch the SBIG crew do their work! Much love from Canuck Land! I’ll try and send you something better than garbage pail kids next time, was not my best idea.
Ok. I used to pass this by in video rental stores, but I later watched it for fun when I was looking for certain martial arts films. The fighting in this film makes this film fun to watch.
I love this channel Jason, one of only 2 patrons that I subscribe too, I've watched damn near every thing you've uploaded either in cheap theaters or vhs. Gotta couple modern and one classic SBIG movies. 1. VFW 2. FEAST 3. HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN........ CLASSIC NOSTALGIA 1. Voyage into space or Giant robot. Ultimate cheese
This is so much better than a Seagal film, because the dude takes multiple debilitating blows and just keeps kicking ass. Makes him look tough, not delusional
King of the Kickboxers is one of the classic b martial arts movies of the 90:s. Loren Avedon is all over the place and so is Billy Blanks...Overacting at the finest, superb martial arts, very Cory Yuen-esque...If you are covering this...then you are very close to American Shaolin territories..😃
Guy playing the police captain is Richard Jaeckel, did a lot of cheesy films in the 1970's, like the blatant Jaws rip-off "Grizzly" and "Day of the animals", which you should really watch if you haven't already =)
I remember my brother finding a copy of these in my early 20's. We watched all the marital arts movies we could find from child hood. Enjoyed the hell out of this one.
Everyone pops up in this thing! Keith 'Hirabayashi' Cooke is the guy who trains him with coconuts and logs.. Almost didn't recognise him without one glove on, and a steel block around his wrist.. :D
I remember renting this on VHS for me and my GF (later my wife) to watch shortly after I had gotten my first apartment (actually a basement suite) on my own, and we laughed ourselves into a hernia at that rediculous 3-step attack of Billy Blanks, the second I saw it here again ALL the memories came flooding back of that night. We reacted very much like you all did while watching this too. (then had a wonderful night after.) Thank you guys (and Billy and Loren) for these memories restored.
Some beautifull kicks in this movie. Also love the sound effects and music in it, it's so 80's. The scenes are pretty well done, casts with outspoken expression. This could have been a perfect movie based of an arcade game.
Yes! You should definitely watch Superfights (1996), also from Seasonal Films. Mad cheesy stuff. Bonus recommendation: Lady Terminator (1988), mega incompetent Indonesian Terminator ripoff, fun as hell!
Fun review as always! This was a big video rental back in the day. Terrific choreography is upheld by talented martial artist. You should screen NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER 3: BLOOD BROTHERS (1990) - also directed by Lucas Lowe and starring Loren Avedon & Keith Vitali. That one was just as good...
Avedon hardest fight was against the Hoff in Baywatch 😅 Love this film, used to rent it all the time back in the day. No retreat no surrender 3 is a must watch and Keith Cook (teacher) is with Rothrock in China O'Brien 1&2
"Next thing you know she'll be in a basement watching shitty movies. . . " This line about made me aspirate on my drink. Well done. Love this channel so much.
You definitely now need to watch part 2. It’s also subtitle American shaolin. Also another suggestion for billy blanks is Showdown. It’s basically karate kid with billy blanks
Another classic. Fun fact: Billy Blank's character here is the inspiration for the Street Fighter character Dee Jay. Not even kidding.
Are you two FOR REAL?!
Seriously?!! Damn....
The confidence that Jason had when Brian asked if “hot-tubbed” was a verb 😂😂😂
It’s almost if he had an air rarely seen in men these days…
Those fight scenes were nuts! The "cops" blowing everything up at the end, perfect 😆
So good.
They're corrupt cops on the snuff studio's payroll, that's why they destroyed all the evidence at the scene of the crime.

That last fight took place in a hidden, MA rated Super Smash Bros. stage with a Mortal Kombat pit! So good!
One of my favorite movie review channels. No "over the top" acting/fake b.s just 4 chill people.
What an awesome movie. Incredible fight scenes, over the top acting and a lot of cheese. I just wish, Loren Avedon would have been in more movies.
Same here, apparently he was offered a two or three film contact and turned it down, he said he regretted it
21:36 Movie should be titled "The World's Strongest Ankles". Wait, no that would be Seagal. His ankles can support his weight.

The signature move counter specific training was a new element to the genre.
20:30 the omar little backstory we never had…
There are always boxes and crates that they have to fall or crash on to. 😄

This looks like real wood crates, I thing it had a Hong Kong director so they are more hardcore with their stunts.
