Tony must help his new friend before it's too late...This is the sort of film you would rent out on a Friday night and watch with your dad. Nowadays, this sort of film is reduced to late night TV screenings and watching this, it's deserved of it's place.Firstly, the acting isn't just bad, it's the funniest thing about the movie. and remember the cool karate you would re-enact at school? It's all here, but with that bit where the bad guy would get hit once, and then wait for no reason to get knocked out.But it's still fun to watch and to point out the bad acting and choreography. The story is your usual guff, and it's fun to watch nearly forty year old people playing high school kids.

dbborroughs 35 year old high school students get involved in the drug trade and have to fight their way out.I think.Actually this movie is so out there I have no idea what the plot is. Its out there - just out there. I think it burned away from parts of my brain. They showed this at midnight during the NYAFF this year and all I can say that this is more of a mind bender than House or almost any other whacked out film from the past few decades. Its not good by any standard but its so uniquely psychotronic that its clear that the taste makers who pick the weird wacky and bad films that get praise are lazy and aren't looking hard enough since they never found this "gem" . As friend said you can't rate it on any level but WTF and on that scale it blows the rating into orbit

udar55 Young (Jun Chong), Tony (Phillip Rhee) and three friends start up a security business and this results in them getting in fights a lot. The main plot doesn't kick in until an hour has passed when Young steals a ton of drug money from a client who hired them ("It was bad money and I would put it to a good cause"). Naturally, the dealer wants it back so he hires two assassins - Japan's Yoshida (Ken Nagayama) and New York's Kruger (Bill "Superfoot" Wallace) - to retrieve it and teach the boys a lesson. This is an odd, yet enjoyable 80s action flick. Odd in the sense that it has no plot for the first hour and that lead tough guy Jun Chong spends a lot of time crying about his drunk mom not loving him. Oh, and there isn't a single ninja in NINJA TURF (its original title was LOS ANGELES STREETFIGHTER). I'm not sure if it hit theaters or not, but RCA/Columbia did release it on VHS. Director Woo-sang Park (under the name Richard Park) directs the action scenes well with an emphasis on the marital arts talents of the leads. This was Rhee's first lead role and he went on to star in the popular BEST OF THE BEST series. Brinke Stevens shows up as a drug dealer's girlfriend and supplies the film's only nudity. I was surprised when I looked up Chong's filmography to see I own 5 of the 6 films he's made, with 2 of them unwatched now. Why I was surprised is beyond me. Looking up the supporting cast, it seems they have a real superstar in their midst. Mark Hicks is a member of Young's crew (aptly named Mark) and he achieved internet superstar notoriety as the famous Afro Ninja, the guy who attempts to do a flip with some nunchaku and falls on his head. I'm sure you've seen it.

aneeljan Every millenia an event occurs that can change a persons life.This happened to me on a stormy December evening in 1994.That was when I was first introduced to La Streetfighter.I just don't know where to begin....The basic plot involves a youth named Young(played by a forty-something) who joins an inner-city gang which in turn leads to the usual high school japes(gang-fighting,stealing from drug barons,working as doormen,urinating on triad gangs car,etc).I wont go into detail with the plot because it is irrelevant along with the acting,directing,sound editing,fight choreography et al. In one one memorable scene the gang decides to plan an intricate drugs robbery.This highly complicated heist basically involves one gang member to open a door,run in,pick up the drugs and run out like sewer rat who's just found a slice of pizza with extra cheese.Ocean's 11 can't match these uber-criminal masterminds.The victim of this crime of the century decides to bring in a couple of professional assassins to help him gain revenge.One of them is a Japanese samurai who proceeds to hunt them throughout LA while dressed in a 14th century samurai outfit complete with huge sword.Inevitably, one of the gang member is captured by the assassins and ends up being strung up from the ceiling.The other assassin declares to him the immortal words..."i'm gonna break your balls".He then goes and does exactly that! He punches and kicks the poor guy exclusively in the nether region.Apparently this assassin is played by a former dick,sorry,kick-boxing champ called Bill'Superfoot'Wallace.This film contains a heart rendering moment too when one of the gang member has a birthday cake presented to him amongst all the chaos. He solemnly declares, "nobody ever give me anything before" and proceeds to wipe a tear.Even as I write this I have lump in my throat...I too had a tough upbringing as I was growing up in the mean streets of Welwyn Garden City. This film has changed my life.I suggest you watch this masterpiece so you too will have an accurate insight into life as a forty year old schoolboy who gets involved in stealing drugs,hunted by a Japanese in a samurai costume with a sword,kick boxed by a man with a groin fetish while having just eaten a birthday cake.
