Fúria Sangrenta

I have seen the 1992 martial arts action movie "Blackbelt" once before, when I had it on VHS tape back in the day. However, I must admit that I have entirely and wholeheartedly forgotten about the storyline. And thus, when I happened to stumble upon the movie by random luck here in 2023, of course I opted to sit down and revisit it.

The storyline in "Blackbelt" is pretty straightforward. It was an adequate script and storyline for a martial arts action movie of this sort. So writers Robert Easter, Neva Friedenn, Paul Maslak and Charles Philip Moore actually put together a fair enough movie here.

There wasn't a whole lot of familiar faces on the cast list, aside from Don Wilson and Alan Blumenfeld. Actor Matthias Hues was a wonderful villain, playing John Sweet, especially with that hair of his.

Why is it that guys wearing leather jackets have to be shirtless beneath the jacket? It just makes people look like douches, yet both Don Wilson and Matthias Hues opted to go that way in "Blackbelt".

Watchable for what it is, "Blackbelt" is a stereotypical early 1990s martial arts action movie.

My rating of "Blackbelt", from directors Charles Philip Moore and Rick Jacobson, lands on a five out of ten stars.
