“Please do not confuse this title with RAGE AND HONOR starring Cynthia Rothrock. This martial arts / action film is still not pumped up to the limit, but it did deliver some occasional surprises. Our Asian action man, Tanaka, can fist-fight and use a gun simultaneously. Not only that, he also carries a wide arsenal of weapons including ninja stars and bombs, all of which makes this worth an evening rental. Even more, he does about a couple of cool action stunts that rival (but not as good as) Jackie Chan once in a while. Itu0026#39;s a fairly solid 80s actioner because of these features. Let me warn you, though. This movie is kind of lame and it wonu0026#39;t hold your interest after one viewing. Solid choreography carries RAGE OF HONOR above the average mark.”
