OK, after seeing that trailer, I am going to have my eyes surgically removed 

[Allhallowsday]

I couldn't even take the trailer. 

[RCMerchant]

WTF???  

What cocktail of madness was that???

[zombie no.one]

how can a 2 minute trailer drag so much

[indianasmith]

That looks SOOOOOO bad!

Their list of "the toughest action stars in the world" leaves a lot to be desired. 

I'm reading the cast list and thinking "Have I even heard of any of these people before?"

Cynthia Rothrock was the Queen of Martial Arts in the 1990s



Her signature movie is Undefeatable (1993). All her films are bad, but at least she got to show off her crazy good martial arts skills.

Gary Daniels has an impressive resume of bad martial arts movies as well, but just like Daniel Bernhardt he never crossed over to mainstream like Jean Claude van Damme did.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. That looks charming.

And the acting..... Is. So. Natural to... how people. Speak.

[LilCerberus]

So, they took a bunch of low budget action stars & tried to cast them in a dullarama????

[claws]

DeCoteau made 22 movies in this house, including Santa's Summer House


1807 Latigo Canyon Road, Malibu, California

I can see why DeCoteau is still making movies.
He just doesn't care they all take place at the same house

Huh?  You're kidding? 

[LilCerberus]

Uhmmmm, so, does anything "happen" in this movie, or do they just sit around the living room talking????????

Okay, Cynthia I actually did recognize.  I've never seen any of her movies, but I have heard of her and knows she did a lot of martial arts stuff.

Looking at Cynthia's IMDb page I'm surprised that I actually rented more of her movies back in VHS days other than Undefeatable.

Undefeatable (1993)
No Retreat, No Surrender 2 (1987)
Martial Law (1990)
Martial Law II: Undercover (1991)
