Review of The Perfect Weapon (1991) by Erno K — 25 Sep 2009
Jeff Speakman and his Kenpo style was certainly a welcome addition to my martial arts collection (and by collection I mean the mental one, where I rank all the martial arts films I have seen in my head). Not only can he fight, but he can actually carry this kind of movie with his roguish charm. And those fucking sticks.
The director is very capable, which in this day and age means that he uses slow cuts and wide angles. We can actually follow the choreography in this one. Very nice (in a Mourinho Special 1 TV voice).
I will deduct half a star for one of the biggest error they always repeat in the genre. The final fight is extremely anticlimactic, and the hero is suddenly much less capable in that one scrap. Fucking annoying. That being said, there are very cool battle scenes throughout the movie. Just not the one that should be the most awesome.
The pole vault scene is pretty embarrassing though.
