★★★ · Blaxploitation + samurai movies = Fighting Mad · Victor Von Psychotron · 2018-08-22
Otherwise known as "Death Force," this odd gem combines a samurai movie with a blaxploitation crime drama with mixed results. The WWII Japanese soldiers are a bit laughable, as is the rapid healing and training time of the main hero.
