It's big, dumb, and loud, but remarkably enchanting during its pursuit of escapism, winning over viewers one sluggish crescent kick and blouse removal at a time. Go to Full Review

It's cheap; it's tawdry; it's vulgar; and it's almost watchable in a cheesy sort of way. Go to Full Review

07/24/2017 Absolutely ridiculous mess of comedy, karate, and zombie genres. See more 01/07/2016 Goofy Gonzo Grindhouse Goodness See more 11/15/2015 A truly great, great bad movie! Martial arts vs. zombie ninja, monks, samurai and what have you. Sad looking strippers, cannibal monks, prop swords that bend, and character actors I know but can't name or place where I've seen them without IMDB. An interview with the director reveals that the sequel would've co-starred Johnathan Winters. See more 01/16/2015 When it comes to sleazy action movies that don't make a lot of sense narratively or even logically, you can't get much better than something like Miami Connection. That's a movie that's just chock full of moments that you leave you questioning the actions of the people who made it. That movie could also pass for a PG rating at times because of how straight-laced it is most of the time. There's no nudity, not too much bad language, and not a lot of over-the-top violence, save for the very end. But on the other end of the spectrum is Raw Force, a movie that's Miami Connection's total opposite with heaping amounts of nudity, bad language, and over-the-top violence. Previously known as Kung Fu Cannibals in the U.S., Raw Force is one of those trashy action movies that's never been given a proper home video release until now. It's one of those hidden gems that if you're a good-bad movie fan, you're going to embrace it with open arms. Not a lot makes sense in Raw Force on not just a story level, but with characters as well. And right off the bat, you know you're in for a good-bad movie when somebody like Cameron Mitchell pops up on the screen, who, in my estimation, is one of the reigning kings of bad movie actors. All you have to do is look up the fantastic trailer for this movie and you'll know exactly what you're in for. This is a movie that's out to satisfy its audience with all of the carnage and nudity that one could hope for in a movie as silly and over-the-top as this one is. As a consequence, it's one of my new favorite good-bad movies. See more 01/11/2015 Zombies? check. Ninjas? check. Tons of nudity? check. Martial arts and non-stop action? check. Explosions? check. Drunks? check. Machine guns? check. Ancient superstitions? yep. Cameron Mitchell and Hope Holiday? double check. Machine guns and rocket launchers? yeppers. Wacky story that shouldn't work but somehow does? hells yes! Raw Force is the film every 13 year old boy wanted in the 80s... and it delivers! See more 01/02/2015 Based on acting, writing, and production value, this is a terrible movie... But based on entertainment value, it's awesome. See more Read all reviews
