Warning: Spoilers
there is some sort of story here.

Cops brother gets involved with David carradine and his suits, and Phillip Tan with his hilarious 'cockernee' accent.

We know this cop is good, because he's known as martial law and goes out with Cynthis rothrock, the type of girl who beats up any man with a mullet and moustache.

Steve Mnqueens son knows his brother is up to no good, but instead of doing the right thing, he just chases him, tells him to get lost and carries on being martial law.

Carradine gets a little suspect of Mcqueens brother, so he tries to get him to kill the annoying African American guy who turns up every now and again for no reason. Carradine kills the brother, Mcqueen gets all serious by his grave, trains at the beach to some hilarious music, and gets employed as Phillip Tans voice coach.

a typical straight to video gem, starring some familiar faces from action movies from the early nineties, and for fans of the genre, this won't disappoint.

we have the pre credit fight sequence, where the robbers are bad portrayed, one actually looks at the camera. Then as usual, we meet the bad guy, realise how bad he is by watching him prod a sweeping brush handle on someones head causing him to faint and so on.

But these sort of films shouldn't be taken seriously, and i for one, just take these films for what they are, pure trashy action films with no punches pulled.

they are fun movies, and it's great to discover old gems like this from the past
