And there was celebration in B-moviedom. :cheers:

I caught this a looong time ago on HBO. I've forgotten almost everything about it, but from what I have read and from what others have said, I think I need to buy this one. :teddyr:

Nice.  I might just have to buy this one.  I remember Tadashi Yamas**ta, star of many martial arts magazine photo shoots, being the trainer in this one.  At least, I think it was him!  I don't remember that much, apart from the town of mentally disturbed East Europeans and the crazy training sequences where he walks up stairs on his hands.

There is a seriously scary part in this movie:

One of the hero's training tasks is to walk up the stairs while doing a handstand.  He wears some rather short shorts during his training.  Fortunately, he falls back down the stairs every time before he reaches a point directly under the camera.  Friends, he is going to make it up the stairs, so steel yourselves for that money shot.
