Purely Joyful Movie!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is cheesy fun with a not so bad story with a twist as well. A wealthy businessman, once a vet is viciously attacked while his wife is raped and murdered by these thugs. Now wheelchair bound, he enlists the help of six of his old buddies, vets too, who all have their own fighting style. We see examples of their work in their early scenes, one involving a disgruntled employee who shoots his own toe off. One of the squad, an Asian, shows his employee what happens when he refuses to pay him. Another one of the squad is thrown off the scaffolding of a building, hitting a mound of sand below, and amazingly doesn't die. When the guilty co workers run down to check that's he's kaput, he's vanished. But the kill squad become the death squad, where one by one they're taken out, til only one's left standing, who finds out the real truth, heartbreaking and horrifying as it is as it's motives are revealed. This movie I saw back in 86' was a fun watch, though again it lacks in the brain department, but what brains it lacks here certainly makes up with the action which karate action fans will as well as it's golden twist.

When ne'er do-wells from a rival electronics company (!) rape his wife and put him in a wheelchair, Joseph Lawrence (presumably not the guy who says "Whoa!" from the show Blossom), (Risk), assembles a multi-racial "Kill Squad" to find the culprits and get revenge. He calls on his old Vietnam buddies Larry (Glaude), Tommy (Fung), Arthur (Sabin), K.C. (Johnson), Pete (Francisco Ramirez of Omega Cop, 1990 fame), and Alan (Bill Cambra). Each bring their own special skills and talents to the table. It turns out they're on the hunt for the notorious Dutch (Mitchell). As if this mission wasn't dangerous enough, a mysterious assassin seems to turn up everywhere they go and is attempting to pick them off one by one. Will this particular "Kill Squad" be effective? This very enjoyable gem contains plenty of funny and memorable nuggets that will surely satisfy anyone who loves the "cheap and cheerful" drive-in action/martial arts style. Sure, the punches and kicks don't technically connect, and the non-actors are...well...not actors, but who cares? The clothes, the music, the decor, and the overall style is very fun and you really get into the spirit. The great thing about movies in general is how they preserve on film the styles of the time, and there is even a scene which shows a movie poster for a long-forgotten adult film called Passion Procession. If not for Kill Squad, we wouldn't be bringing that movie - or at least its title - up here today.One of the best sequences of the film is when the squad is being assembled. With a simple "Joseph needs you", every guy simply drops whatever they're doing in their life and without any questions or comments, agrees to go along for the ride. This despite knowing all the (Jeff) Risks. The movie gets better as it goes along, and one of the best things about Kill Squad is not only the constant fights, but that EVERYBODY fights! Random people at parties, armies of used car salesmen, everybody! Somehow, in the wacky world of Kill Squad, every single person on earth knows Martial Arts and is more than willing to use it. And everything inbetween the fights serves the fight - no matter how absurd. That's one of the glorious things about this movie - it's willing to do anything, including breaking the rules, to satisfy the audience. God bless them.As stated earlier, the music, which is by Joseph Conlan, stands out, as does the violence. Everything is cranked up here, and the effect is winning. Fan favorite Cam Mitchell appears as the bad guy, and it would have been nice if he had more screen time. That's really the only mild issue we could find with this great movie. It would make an excellent double feature with Death Machines (1976).Assemble the squad and watch this movie tonight! for more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

You should know what to expect. And with "Kill Squad" you get what you expect. Silliness. Man-love. Rose beds. Action. That's non-stop silliness, man-love, rose-beds and action. Martial arts action. Where everyone (yep that's everyone) who fights knows kung-fu or gives it some sort of shot. No one is safe. And nobody is safe from the sound FX too (swoosh, crunch and smack). Cheap, low-grade drive-in exploitation that's simply fun from start to finish. Its happy-go-lucky approach is episodic, but it's all about the kung-fu set-pieces. Less talk, more fighting… that's it… although there's bit of strutting as well. Well they can't help it because of its funky dory soundtrack. Sure repetitive, but never does it become tiring due to its speedy pacing and brutal carnage. A small group of Vietnam veterans with special abilities reunite to seek vengeance for a friend who was left paralysed. The motto; "Joseph needs you." So after the brutal opening, we then see the squad… but before teaming up ("Assemble the squad Larry. You know where to find them."), they all get some sort of intro to show how badass they are (and even invincible… you'll know why when you see it). Then it comes "Joseph needs you." No hesitation, they're in and they deck up in their former army gear to help their pal. It's super best friends doing (a head nodding) Joseph proud, out to dig up leads but finding nothing but trouble as they take matters into their own hands. Especially those you don't like to play fair, by bringing out a gun… but those moments do end up with comical and quite bloody results ("You better let me hold onto this before you kill yourself").Plenty of humour is evident, but never does it feel all that serious. It's purposely funny, but well delivered on that front. There's a good mixture of laughs, sleaze (… this one is politically incorrect) and take no prisoners violence. That's not to say it doesn't get ridiculous, because it does… like the balaclava wearing sniper who suddenly appears from nowhere eliminating any clues / ties / people and the climatic revelation is pure ham instilling utter melodramatic daftness. The story is just dumb, but just roll with it. Performances are leaden, but diverting and the stunt work is a hearty display with its forceful fury and swift timing.Enjoyably hip, if low-brow macho kung-fu entertainment.

If you like horrible, campy movies,you might like "Kill Squad".But the real problem is we were serious when we made it. oops. I never made a penny on this movie. I guess that's o.k. Most of you were very kind in your comments Thank you for that. Your nice people. Someone mentioned that they bought the movie on Ebay for 6 cents. That was still too much to pay.I hope you never have the depressed shock to shoot a movie and have your voice looped without your permission or notice.There's nothing like the feeling of being laughed at by movie goers in Norway.
