Marc Z @TKDLife 04/01/2023 This early film of Chilean martial artist and action film star, Marko Zaror, is not bad. There are some good elements, including a decent story and attempt to infuse martial arts and fantasy. The film, like Zaror's current release, Fist of the Condor, showcase Chile, as well as Zaror's skills and passion for the arts. The story also has a similar through-line of the struggle between good and evil. The fight scenes are decent but they are hampered by digital blood effects that are not very good. The film's direction is not great. The low budget is apparent. The editing could have been tighter. Shaving 20% off the film would have improved the experience. I enjoyed seeing Zaror's progression.

"Chile's first martial arts movie is a cheesy trip through 1980s excess, where genre quickly gets lost in the desert. It's knowingly daft fun with a violent sting in its tail." Zaror is talented, I look forward to seeing him in Machete Kills. Espinoza (Mandrill) is a capable director, Bring Me the Head of the Machine Gun Woman should be good.

This film is an interesting blend of spaghetti western (by way of Jodorowsky) and chop-socky kung-fu films. The score is reminiscent of the work of Ennio Morricone and some of the visual style is surreal and seems to echo "El Topo". The fight scenes are well done, though they do employ some over-the-top cartoon gore. There are novel weapons, including a claw-handed cane/sword and spur-like knives. It is not an incredibly original story, drawing as it does from "Star Wars" and others, but it is interestingly operatic, which again is well-supported by a wonderful score. Do not expect a lot of depth, but do expect to be entertained, and, at times, even awed. See more Read all reviews
