luigi700 This is a pretty good movie, it is disturbing, dark, and depressing but these are things that happen in real life. We can't hide from these things, the movie is exposing the lifestyle of these scum and the man set out to destroy them. It's not Bronson's best movie but I thought it was pretty solid, I give it a 7.5/10. This movie is pretty underrated, it's such a good movie that touches on sensitive topics. People need to seriously stop being sensitive all the time and realize that the movie meant to expose these criminals. You can't just rate a movie low because it's depressing or doesn't fit your ideal world. the movie is about crime and that is what was shown here, you knew what you were getting into when you were going to watch this movie. You did read the synopsis, right?Overall a pretty solid film, not the best but certainly not the worst.

Michael_Elliott Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects (1988)*** (out of 4) An L.A. cop (Charles Bronson) tries to bring down a pimp (Juan Fernandez) who has been taking underage girls and forcing them into prostitution. While all of this is going on, the cops racist attitude begins to come out when his daughter is molested by an Asian man on a bus. Before long the cop is searching for an Asian girl who is in the possession of the pimp but he doesn't realize she's the daughter of the man who attacked his.KINJITE: FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS really did have a lot "lasts" to it. It was the last film that Bronson made for Cannon and it was also the last film directed by J. Lee Thompson. The two men had a pretty long-running career together and while critics weren't overly happy with their film selections in the 80s, they certainly made some memorable action movies for fans. This one here is without question one of the strangest because it almost seems like they took a bunch of material that was cut out of previous movies and threw it all in one pot and out came this thing. Even critics who hate this movie admit that it's extremely well-made but at the same time there's no doubt that the subject matter is something that's going to turn most people off. As Roger Ebert said, child molestation and rape is perhaps a subject for a more serious movie.I used to feel that the exploitation level of the movie really hurt the film. There's no question that it's rather uneven and especially at the start when you laughing and having a great time seeing Bronson beat the crap out of people and threaten others. These scenes are a lot of fun because, well, it's just great fun seeing Bronson bash these bad guys. The film takes a very dark and rather dramatic turn once the main storyline gets going and from here we're in for a well-made thriller that actually works quite well. Again, the nasty elements of the story probably should have been in a more serious movie but there's no question that this is a rather good movie.The performances are actually a major plus here with Bronson actually doing more than just beating people up. I really do feel that he gives a real performance here, which can be seen during one sequence where he's talking to a priest and another when he's dealing with his racist attitude. Perry Lopez is good in the role of his partner and James Pax is also very good in the role of the Asian father. You've also got Amy Hathaway good as Bronson's daughter and you can also spot Danny Trejo and Nicole Eggert in early roles. Then there's Fernandez who is simply downright sleazy and creepy as the worthless pimp. The guy just oozes pure scum and the finale, which I won't ruin here, is just perfectly done.On a technical level this is the most impressive film from Bronson's Cannon period. The film looks to have been shot on a much higher budget than normal and the director manages to bring a nice flow to the film. There's some pretty good action scenes scattered throughout but, as any Bronson fan knows, the real entertainment comes from him punishing the bad guys. KINJITE: FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS isn't the easiest movies to watch because of the subject matter but it's certainly an entertaining one.

videorama-759-859391 You can't help loving this B film, that delves into fetishes, child perversion, abduction, and forbidden vices. I must say the scene with Bronson confessing to his priest/psychologist, played by the wonderful Bill Mckinney, I couldn't stop from grinning a tad. I know why. It's stereotypical Bronsoniitis, via J Lee Thompson, as we've seen many of Charlie's other Golan Globus flicks. It too had me wondering, does Charlie really enjoy this, or how is he on this, with how his career's plummeted. Another scene, that brought stereotypical vibes back, had him going off, publicly at Asians, making a stand, claiming, "They think they own the joint, goddamn cars, whatever". To race haters out there who see this, later on in the movie they could have a change of heart as does Charlie. Lately Charlie, has had a hard on for busting this sleazy pimp, Duke, (Fernandez) who runs a stable of young girls for perverted clientele. His latest beauty is an Asian schoolgirl who can't be more than thirteen, who he discreetly abducted from a private school, and groomed quick, courtesy of hishelp. Kinjite has some cheeky, saucy scenes, others, repulsive ones, like when the girl goes with an old guy in a limo, or later when she's taken to an apartment to fuel the hunger for a lonely female paedophile. We're off to a great start with Charlie and the boys, raiding a hotel room, busting up a trick, who has a big briefcase of kinky stuff, about to go to work on sexy Eggert's rear end. As having been with Duke, she even warns him later on that's his apartment is about to be raided. Now the forced Rolex swallowing watch scene, I must say, left me with a bit of a sore throat, this was a great stand out, "Are you kidding me" scene. Obviously Charlie wasn't. Although the end of Kinjite isn't all roses, as to some of the characters fates, what we have here is some really sleazy addictive B grade product. The sexy mistress in blue, with the Asian businessman, the father of the Asian daughter who's taken, I must say had nice hooters. This Asian guy presented a little shock revelation and unease to how he carried himself. But of course it's Charlie who carries the movie, where I wouldn't say this is the best departure out of Golan Globus ville, but it is addictively entertaining and I said before, stereotypically Charlie.

michellelocke007 despite the fact that most critics hailed this movie as trashy and sleazy i thought it was a slick and well-made film. again this vehicle stars bronson as a worn out cop hot on the trail of a small time pimp by the name of duke and trying to put him out of business. while the movie tries to send out a strong message, i felt the subject matter could have been handled better if the script had been revised a few more times. there were too many story lines being told at one time and by the end of the movie, i think the writers were trying to tie up all the loose ends. i did however was entertained by several scenes from the film. the first was the opening sequence where bronson and his partner bust into an apartment complex after being tipped off that a supposed under aged prostitute is entertaining a client. in typical bronson style, he punches, kicks and beats up the john to teach him a lesson about abusing and taking advantage of young girls being forced into the sex-trade. but the best scene is where bronson trails the pimp, duke, one night and takes him hostage. duke tries to bribe bronson into leaving him alone by offering him a diamond studded watch. bronson doesn't bite but with a dead pan expression says, 'i'd like to shove this up your ass, but i don't want to get my hands dirty'. he than menacingly orders duke to open his mouth than forces him to eat the watch. funny stuff. i highly recommend getting the 4-dvd pack of bronson's collaboration with director j. lee thompson. lots of violence, nudity to keep viewers interested.
