What a beautiful movie!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

"Low Blow" appears to reunite the director and most of the cast from a previous 80's movie called "Killpoint", only it seems to be made even more cheaply than that enjoyable time waster. As such, it's not the worst martial arts/action movie you will ever watch -I'd watch "Low Blow" 5 more times rather than watch Steven Seagal's "The Foreigner" even once more.The credits say that Leo Fong wrote this movie as well as starring in it (uh-huh).I have to admit the screenplay isn't nearly as bad as it might be, mostly because the movie doesn't seem to take itself (or the hero/leading man) too seriously. Fong plays a likable diamond in the rough, and the movie doesn't ask him to do anything he can't do well.Most of the rest of the cast are community theater rejects, with the exceptions of Cameron Mitchell (who once again has to act from behind a huge pair of blackened sunglasses), Stack Pierce and his trademark grimace, Troy Donaghue as your basic generic rich white guy/senator type, and a startingly charismatic and attractive young black woman who plays Cameron's girl Friday.She steals most of the scenes she is in and almost walks away with the movie.Again,the super low budget is very evident here, and the screen play has no real energy or momentum - it just kind of mooches along from fist fight to shootout to the next fist fight and then some more shooting. And BTW, since when can a bunch of private individuals with guns invade another privately owned compound and kill 90% of the people in it with no repercussions? I mean, supposedly the movie is set in the continental US - Fong's character just drives to the cult headquarters. It's not as if this is taking place in the Phillipines (even though some of it was obviously shot there). At least "Low Blow" is mildly funny and ribald when it means to be, and there's lots of cheesy action - only instead of "The Wild Bunch", it's more like "The Mild Bunch".You should not play actual money to see this DVD - I got as part of a 12 movies-for-$5 compilation, which was fine.

like others here, i bought this movie for $3. And yes, the acting is awful, it is low budget, the case has nothing to do with the movie, and the soundtrack appears to consist of one song. However, it is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. Does the fact that it is not intentionally funny cancel that out? Does hilariously bad choreography equate to a bad movie? or story lines that don't make sense - such as yanakunda calling Karma "my daughter, my wife". This movie gets funnier every time i watch it. The script at times is ridiculous - and that makes it very quotable. its also a great movie to watch when you are drunk. So, in terms of film making, this movie is right down there with the worst, so i could easily give this a poor score like others before me have. But i watch movies to be entertained. and if this movie is so bad that its entertaining for every minute that it lasts, then it is a good movie. If it gets better every time i see it, then it is a great movie. and this movie has proved to be far more entertaining than most of the "best" movies ever made, so i give it a 10.some scenes to watch for: all driving scenes, the pointless church scene (he drove to a church and crashed his car just to say 2 words to a guy), the car and chainsaw scene, the puppy scene (totally random and unexplained), i could go on forever

A pretty good cast here with ... Leo Fong , Cameron Mitchell , Stack Pierce , Akosua Busia , Troy Donaghue , Diane Stevenett and I think that Hope Holliday plays a small part as a Head Mistress of a school.Four of these actors incl Leo Fong are from the other movie Kill Point ! Cameron Mitchell (High Chapparel 1960's TV Western) as Yarakunda is just plain weird. Akosua Busia (Colour Purple) as the sadistic Karma , is weird as well but SO gorgeous it isn't funny. Diane Stevenett as Joe Wong's secretary Diane is really cute and plays her part fairly well. Stack Pierce as Corky , as always is mean looking deadly and certainly comes up well , as well as can be expected. I'm sure though that his part in the movie has a different name , possibly "Duke". Anyway he throws some good punches. He is a first rate actor !I suppose that you can't expect any Oscar award winning from Leo Fong , but never the less I have seen worse actors. Actually Leo Fong isn't too bad as an actor and even though he's never had the coaching I'd bet he's got more ability than Arnie and JCVD. He can be quite funny at times and has his moments and you realize that you get a liking for the guy.I suppose that he's a little mechanical , but you can see the breaks where he lightens up every so often.The movie is a bit better than mediocre and has some good action scenes. Leo Fong is quite a good martial artist and even though you don't see all of the acrobatics and technical trickery etc ... you get some realistic scenes. Fong as you can see is a pretty strong guy and for his age he does well. The best action part is in the building where Fong takes on a couple of guys an does them over. The part on the stair case is good !All in all I quite enjoyed the movie and his part as Joe Wong. And what a rough scruffy PI he is. You sort of get the impression that as soon as he'd make the money from a case he'd spend it on whatever before the bills etc.I own this on DVD now but I saw it a couple of years back and then I recalled seeing it sometime in the late 80's . I thought that the actor was MA Expert and board breaker Pu Gill Gwon , the author of "The New Forms of Tae Kwon Do" Anyway its not Pu Gill Kwoon or Pu Gill Gwon , Its Leo Fong an I'm glad that I have the movie as I'll watch it again.

THIS is a chef-d'oeuvre, nothing is missing to create the perfect (and I really mean it) atmosphere for non-stop laughter. No acting is believable, the script is ... how could I describe it...Well to make a very long story short, this one's a must for anyone who loves to take fun out of something that wasn't supposed to provide any.
