Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sorry, this movie sucks

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A group of martial arts students decides that they will visit the Asian island home of martial artists who have lost their honour. Well, not only will they have a nefarious jade dealer & white slave trader to deal with, but the resident mad monks as well."Raw Force" is short on sense and long on nonsense. If one is not partial to the charms of the silly side of B cinema, then stay away! Otherwise, this is great fun that writer / director Edward Murphy is wise to play tongue in cheek. You have to hand it to him for including so many exploitable elements in this wild and crazy flick: cannibalism, zombies, karate, etc. The dialogue and performances are often quite ridiculous, and while the actors stop short of winking at the camera, Murphy does keep that tone alive.The special effects are lousy, the zombies are a rather sad lot sporting less than stellar grey makeup, the T & A quotient is high (at one point, a hero and villain have a fight in a room where a naked woman is tied up), and the gore is plentiful.Ubiquitous Cameron Mitchell has the leading role of intrepid pleasure ship captain Harry Dodds. Co-starring are his real-life girlfriend Hope Holiday as Hazel, Geoffrey Binney ("Hot Potato") as Mike, Jillian Kesner ("Firecracker") as Cookie, John Dresden ("Not of This Earth" '88) as John, and Filipino icon Vic Diaz, rarely to be seen without a smile on his face, as one of the monks. Exploitation fanatics will dig the appearances by Camille Keaton ("I Spit on Your Grave" '78) and Jewel Shepard ("The Return of the Living Dead"). Ralph Lombardi hams it up, egregious accent and all, as the Hitler lookalike villain.We even get a couple stock shots from the New World production "Piranha" '78 before this is over. "Raw Force" is unmistakably gutter trash, but is done with enough humour and spirit to make it engaging entertainment.Eight out of 10.

Hilariously awful kung fu/ cannibal/ grindhouse/ exploitation flick, about a tour group on a cruise ship going to a place called Warrior Island. On the way to Warrior Island, they stop by a strip club, as an excuse to show Asian girls dancing nude on a tabletop during a huge bar fight. A Hitler lookalike with a horrific comb-over and his gang later board the ship and try to kill all those on board.A massive fight between two guys in a bedroom, a Nazi biker in white boxers with hearts and lips all over them uses Kung Fu to try to incapacitate a guy, while a girl is nude and tied to the bed the entire time; scene culminates with the bad guy's head being held underwater in a toilet bowl until he drowns! The same chick beating a guy over the head with a gas can, after untying herself, and bouncing up and down on the bed was surreal. By the way, she's on the cruise to get herself out of the country, because "there's a stupid little murder warrant" out for her arrest.The cruise ship sequence, the entire first act, is hilarious. A Hitler lookalike in a white suit. A guy cracks a block of ice with his head, just for ice cubes. Cannibal monks. A tropical island. Plenty of full female nudity. A zombie with a samurai sword hacking the cannibal monks. Hilarious fight scenes and people being drown in toilet bowls. A surprising beheading. Intro scenes which look like a horror movie version of Magnum. I couldn't stop laughing.Somehow or other, they get to Warrior Island. The Hitler lookalike uses the island for its resources of jade, and slave trading, and will do anything to keep its location and jade reserves a secret. He uses machine guns, uzis, and cannibal monks in blue face paint to kill anyone who gets to close.Lots of pointless nudity and comic violence, in this, probably one of the funniest Grindhouse movies ever produced. Don't miss the final seconds, as the hero smiles and winks at the camera, his teeth glistening, before the words "To Be Continued....." appear.Its first act is hilarious, but its second and third acts, while still funny, pale in comparison. So it ends up being uneven, but mostly hilariously awful, and a must for fans of bad cinema.

A cruise full of martial arts enthusiasts stops by Warriors Island, an island in the South China Sea rumored to be populated by disgraced martial artists raised from the dead by monks. Oh, and there is some other criminal activity going on, too.Starring Cameron Mitchell (Blood and Black Lace) and written and directed by Edward Murphy (who has done little else, though he did appear in "Goodfellas"). Camille Keaton and Jewel Shepard also make small cameos.The Fortune 5 DVD is apparently a VHS transfer, because not only is it fuzzy, but it jumps frames a lot and the sound cuts out. Some moments are pretty much completely unwatchable... not sure why they bothered unless there is just honestly no other way to present the film.In the opening scene, a group of Vietnamese girls is stripped naked, sort of setting a tone for this film. Yes, it is an exploitation film. But if you want more of this sort of thing, look elsewhere. Plenty of nudity, but not what I would call exploitation.Some weird party with a male stripper, a centerfold, a female cop and drunks. "what do you call that?" "fetishes." "that's really sick!" I don't know who the actor, Gary McClintic, is, but he is by far the highlight of the movie (and the girl he is with is not bad to look at, either.)In short, the best samurai zombie movie I have seen to date.

i was kinda interested in this movie as a trashy cannibal flick. i was thoroughly disappointed. it was the same kind of disappointment i felt watching 'friday the 13th: jason takes manhattan'. so much potential wasted!the opening scene is a decent attention grabber. then it grinds to a halt. copious breasts and egregious 80s fashion cannot help this movie. the only things eating near this island of cannibal monks are the piranha! i'm not asking for 'cannibal holocaust' level of gore, but i was looking for cheap over-the-top exploitative gore. i got none of that.i found a couple parts of the fight scenes somewhat intriguing, hence the 2 stars. i don't think its really worth the time it takes to watch it, though. i could see showing it at a party where nobody cares about what is going on and you just want something on in the background. but i would not tell anyone, "oh, dude, you GOTTA see this movie." it is neither good enough nor bad enough to warrant much attention.
