Hey guys, sorry for the number of "has anyone seen these movies" posts lately, but I've recently come across a great store that has a ton of videos that there isn't really too much information on, other than the reviews over at IMDB.com. So, being the master of b-movies that several of you are, I figured I would ask you guys. If I'm asking this question to the point of annoyance, then please let me know, and I'll stop. Otherwise, here goes:
Steele Justice - Starring Martin Kove, the badass guy from the Karate Kid movies. He's the "evil" instructor in the first few Karate Kid movies. (As somewhat of a side note, am I the only one that thinks Kove could've pulled off the role of Solid Snake in a Metal Gear Solid movie if they ever made one? I think he looks extremely similar to Snake, and that he'd do a good job. I haven't seen him lately, however, so I don't know if age has treated him well or not.) Anyways, this movie looked pretty sweet from its cover. It looked like a balls-out action movie, ala Golam-Globus and the like. Has anyone seen it? Worth getting or not?
Back in Action - With Billy Blanks and Rowdy Roddy Piper. Yeah, this one looked cheesy, but it could be promising. Piper is great in many of the movies that I've seen him in. And Billy Blanks.. well, it's Billy Blanks, I guess. This one probably sucks, but I'm curious nonetheless.
Only the Strong - One of the few Mark Dacascos movies that I haven't seen. I've heard that it deals with Capoeira, which is pretty interesting to me. Not many movies, if any others, address this fighting style. This movie looked pretty decent from the box, but otherwise, I don't have a clue about it.
They Still Call me Bruce - Well, I ended up loving They Call me Bruce?, which I got a few weeks ago. So I saw the sequel and wondered if it'd be nearly as good.
Bulletproof - Now this one piqued my interest quite a bit. I was so close to just buying it, but I wasn't sure. This stars Gary Busey, who is a favorite of mine. It looks like a straight up Rambo rip-off, which is a great thing in my book.
Kill Zone - With David Carradine. According to Joe Bob Briggs, this movie has nearly 400 deaths in it, which is quite a huge number. This one looks like a classic, but looks can often be deceiving. Another Rambo clone, from the looks of it.
TC 2000 - Another Billy Blanks vehicle. This one seemed to get ragged on a bit over at IMDB.com, but the cover picture was hilarious.
Well, those are the latest inquiries. Any info. at all would be greatly appreciated.

Saw Back in Action, but it sorts of blends together with Tough & Deadly since they both have Blanks and Piper as partners in them.
Saw TC 2K, B. Blanks and Matthias Hues are fun to watch.
If you enjoyed TaeBo Billy in those three, see if you can find Showdown. It's basically a Karate Kid ripoff with Blanks as Miyagi and Patrick Kilpatrick as the scene chewing bad guy.
Bulletproof is about Gary Busey being called out of retirement to stop some mega-tank from being completed/used/tested. The name comes from the fact that he's been shot like 50 times (not all at once) and is still alive. It's the kind of low-budget action movie you'd expect (rightfully so) to find on Cinemax at 2AM.
I talked about TC-2000 in this post : The future of law enforcement is Tai-Bo (http://www.badmovies.org/bbs/read.php?f=2&i=35182&t=35182)
