It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

In the 70s I enjoyed reading Marc Olden's "Black Samurai" novels, and I always wondered why the novels were never adapted for film. Well, it appears this awful film is supposed to be about Olden's Black Samurai, although Jim Kelly's character is NOTHING like the original Sand character fro the novel. The film is a disaster. It is so bad that it appears to be a parody akin to the "Fistful Of Yen" segment from KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, although "Fistful Of Yen" is actually less funny than this.....thing. Absolutely appalling in every aspect.

Unintentional or not, this is one of the funniest movies ever put on film. Jim Kelly acts unbelievably seriously in this movie considering that he ends up fighting little people, snakes, and a vulture (not necessarily in that order). Also released as "Black Terminator" (available on DVD in an edited version). The box for the version I saw contained the catchline "Miami Vice meets James Bond". This certainly must refer to the luck that our hero has with the ladies. If you can find it, watch it with friends who can appreciate a really good B movie.

Once more beaten to the first review of a great movie! Oh well... Not much to add, except the final fight of this movie has some of the best dub work I have seen since... Well I can't even think of better dubbing than the final seen of this movie. Funny thing is this movie is american so they didnt dub it so you can understand the actors, no they dubbed it cuz, I guess they just thought the last part was just too quiet.. It's awesome, oh yeah and the vulture scene is probably the most horrific bit of animal cruelty i've seen since "Peking Man". This movie has Jim Kelly Kung-Fu Fighting a Vulture, "Peking Man" has people running from a Cheetah with it's mouth sewn shut.. You just cant beat it.

This movie is a forgettable karate flick starring the wonderful Jim Kelly. Every karate movie cliche is here, including midgets, and an evil white guy karate master (who doesn't know karate) with a vulture named "Voltan."STANDOUT SCENE - Watch closely when the evil white guy sends his vulture to attack Kelly. Quote, "Voltan! Kill!!" (never mind that vultures are lazy creatures by nature who wouldn't even eat a dead deer if they had to cross the street to get it). Okay, now watch when Voltan lands on Jim Kelly -- Kelly's stunt-double is a white guy. A blonde white guy - they didn't even give the double a dark haired wig or anything.Other standouts include Kelly's staff fight with a group of thugs, and his pre-final showdown with a Damon Wayans lookalike, where Kelly spouts Muhammad Ali like banter ("C'mon chump! C'mon sissy!")A great movie if you can a) find it and b) stay awake through it!!
