Review of The Dynamite Brothers (1974) by Tim S — 01 Dec 2012
Dynamite Brothers (AKA East Meets Watts) is an interesting film. Not on so much a technical level, but on just the sheer amount of actors in it. You have Timothy Brown, who at that point was only known for his small-lived role of Spearchucker on the first season of M*A*S*H, but also James Hong, who shows up in the cast as a villain.
On that level, it at least bears some sort of merit. Everything else is pretty much a mess. Sure the martial arts sequences are pretty good, but they're a dime a dozen for this type of genre. There's nothing special about them, or this film.
It's your standard east meets west sort of movie, and not a very good one. It was taken to town on an episode of Cinematic Titanic under its alternate title though.
