Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
... View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

... View MoreLoren Avedon unleashes a full six pack, no make that 30 pack of butt kicking action in the third installment of the series. This movie is about family, its also about the laundry list of dead or permanently injured stunt men in this flick. People get attacked in this movie like I've never seen and you may have to rewind certain shots about a million times cause there too priceless. Like when Loren Avedons dad in the movie is taking on the thugs in his house, and he Leaps at one guy and knocks him so ridiculously far off the set its...well its amazing is what it is. This movie has so many lines and fighting that you just don't have time to rest its a constant bombardment of plot twist and foot and fist. The fighting is shot furiously fast too, this movie makes a lot of other martial arts movies look slow. And the ending...well thats just a whole nother scaffolding story. If your a fan of the late eighties early nineties kick-boxing action genre then look no further, this movie along with part two and king of the kick-boxers are some of the best. Loren Avedon for life. Don't rent this OWN it.
... View MoreThe most insane martial arts film from America incorporates an albino terrorist leader's plot to kill president George WH Bush. In classical Hong Kong style, Blood Brothers bares no connection to previous NRNS-series instalments, apart from sheer wackiness, creative dance-like use of violence and a tacked-on cold-war nationalism verging on parody. One of the great screen fighters, Loren Avedon, was brought into the series to replace Kurt McKiney, who broke his contract to return in the sequels. But these mishaps didn't stop the strange phenomena of this movie series getting better with every sequel. Seasonal film's Hong Kong production on American soil brought truly daring and dangerous fight sequences to VHS. The other "blood brother" and truly joyous cinematic ham Keith Vitali, had a plaster-cast on his arm for the first few scenes because he genuinely broke it during filming. Scenery is chewed and successfully digested by bleached blond and English-accented Rion Hunter as the leader of a strange gang of king-fu fighting communist terrorists. This all leads to the assassination plot of George Bush senior, incorporating real footage of the president, which along with strange moments of text used on a blank screen, constitutes the most unlikely tribute to Jean-Luc Godard in cinema. Cheesy quotable dialogue and severe bone-crunching where it counts, NRNS 3: Blood Brothers is among the very cream of B-cinema and wildly enjoyable.
... View MoreSTAR RATING: ***** The Works **** Just Misses the Mark *** That Little Bit In Between ** Lagging Behind * The Pits Will (Loren Avedon) returns to be with his CIA brother Casey (Keith Vitali) at their father's 65th birthday party. However, when the old man is murdered by the evil Franco (Rion Hunter) they are both re-united in a quest for revenge...When the movie opens, we see a foiled bank hold-up where American Imperialism self-righteously prevails when we see that the gangs agenda appears to be against American-imposed wars abroad. From there, we're left to gawp at just how much charisma Avedon actually had and how sad it was that he never moved on to bigger and better things. His delivery's a little ropey, but other than that, he's a spot on action star. Hunter in the bad guy role also has a genuine presence to him that is typical of DTV action fudd of the time that this movie was released.From here, we see what is essentially a very weak film. It's predictable, clichéd, simplistic and lazy. But, for fans of the past two films, who get a kick out of the hammy over-acting, corny 80s soundtracks and the cleverly choreographed martial arts sequences, it may just pass muster all the same, but it is an undeniably wise final edition to the series. **
... View MoreThis was to me the best movie in it's 5 part series you can say. Two brothers constantly at each others throats until their father dies, which eventually brings them together. Ron Hunter displayed some very good martial arts techniques. The acting was not that good at all, but then would you rather have good acting and bad fight scenes (Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolution, Cradle to the Grave) or bad acting good fight scenes ( Blood Moon, Super Fighter, and Drive). If you are not an acting snob then please by all means give this a shot. If acting plays a big part to you then I would say don't really bother, but if you like good fight scenes this is a definite looker.
