KOTK kicks ass!!!!, 16 February 1999
9/10
Author: wong-3 from Edinburgh, Scotland

KOTK kicks ass!!!! THe acting is really crap, but as a fan of all 3 No Retreat, No Surrender films, this beats them all hands down. Billy Blanks gets his head to play with, in OTT karate scenes. Prang (the metal-handed guy from China O'Brien), is small but deadly. If you want a laugh and plenty of fighting, and you like the cheap B-movie karate films, then look at this.
