Rage of the Masters: From the dollar bin comes this rather bland Jimmy Wang Yu film. The plot is rather bland with a brother and sister seeking revenge and enlisting a great kickboxer to help them. Of course, the problem lies in the fact that he has promised his mother that he won't fight.

The film progresses through some dull scenes which, I confess, I did not watch with my full attention. The saving grace is the last half hour which has some pretty cool kick boxing and martial arts scenes.

It's crappy chop socky for a dollar so if that's your thing, go for it. If you really like it, there's a widescreen version available under the title, "The Destroyer."

I think the reason I haven't watched so many films lately lies from the fact that I regularly watch crap and this is just more of it. I've seen so many kung fu movies over the years that it's almost getting to be a genre that I can't watch anymore, at least not without some sort of comedy or class to save it.
