Rainey Dawn Another one of the Mill Creek films: from their Sci-Fi Invasion 50-Pack. I consider this one the filler films - ya know the movies to fill out the pack just to make sure there are 50 movies in it - and not because it's actually a Sci-Fi or a fairly okay film. This film is not Sci-Fi so why is it in the Sci-Fi pack? This is an action film.This non-science fiction, pure action film really stinks. All I saw was some people in the beginning that looked as if they are in beginning martial arts and some really dumb sounding dialogue so I hit the fast-forward button to watch the rest of the stupid film. What I saw was trucks crashing, bulldozer running people over, a dude with a rifle, more dudes with guns and some more beginner martial arts moves. That's really it besides some ugly clothing and hairstyles.1/10

utility_infielder Think 'Universal Soldier' mixed the weirdest 70's synth soundtrack you've ever heard. Add b-movie karate star Ron Marchini and you get this weird, weird film.The action is cheesy, of course. But that's what makes these type of movies fun. The main issue is the storytelling. The narrative runs all over the place. Aside from the 3 mindless karate warriors programmed to go around and assassinate people, the rest of the movie almost plays as an anthology. There really isn't a main character. The story keep jumping from one plot to another, never really connecting. At one point I stepped out of the room to grab a drink and when I came back I thought a different movie had started playing.This movie isn't *bad* necessarily. It's just... Weird.Oh, and if someone can explain just what exactly the ending was, PLEASE DO! Was it nothing more than sequel bait? If so, man, were they overly optimistic during production. The movie is on a ton of those public domain / Mill Creek box sets. So, if you happen to pick one of them up and feel like having an MST3K party, you can't do much better than this.

BA_Harrison Pulling out a gun during a martial arts duel and shooting your opponent would be considered cheating by most, but it is viewed as 'using one's initiative' by Madame Lee ( Mari Honjo), whose elite squad of assassins consists of only the most ruthless killers.After wiping out the competition, Lee's hit men are hired by crime boss Mr. Gioretti (Chuck Katzakian) who pays for a hit on a karate school. Student Frank Thomas (John Lowe) survives the ensuing massacre, but loses a hand in the process; while he recuperates in hospital, the three killers (the 'death machines' of the title) attempt to finish the job...A ham-fisted piece of martial arts action trash, Death Machines is blighted by terrible acting, thoroughly unconvincing fight scenes, and really boring storytelling. When a film is this bad, there are bound to be some unintentional laughs to be had (the uncuffing of one of the hit men in the police station; the biker fight; the Italian restaurant owner), but there are not nearly enough of them to counteract the extreme tedium.

smiley-32 Death Machines. This old classic action film in a kind of tale of a difference...This movie asks us what the plot is all about? Well basically, it's all to do with these highly trained assassins who work for some mysterious chinese woman who sends them out to terminate anyone who stands in her way...Have you got it..? Well, to me that film was dull in some parts especially those "machines" that don't even say a word in this film. Yep! They just basically going round killing people left, right and centre..Another thing that bothers me was that when the film finished, the three men just stood there as they're making their way off somewhere.. I don't know where.. But, as me the viewer, it didn't say "The End" to say that the film has finished. It just plays the music and the men are just standing there like a bunch of bananas..Well, if you ever see that film, see what you think..? You may the plot but you'll never know the ending...
