@Squirrel from Meteor Man Peep G
Good looks, about to read through. Hope I see some of my favorites mentioned
The nostalgia factor runs deep in the star-studded Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleecing, an upcoming martial arts/comedy directed by and starring Alexander Wraith (No Tears for the Dead), which is currently in production.
Wraith is joined by a gang of martial arts film stars, both old and new, including Ernie Reyes Jr. (Red Sonja), Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja), Taimak (The Last Dragon), Don ‘The Dragon’ Wilson (The Martial Arts Kid), Benny “The Jet” Urquidez (Wheels on Meals) and Simon Rhee (Furious, Best of the Best).
Also in the mix are Bill Goldberg (Universal Soldier: The Return), Jena Sims (3 Headed Shark Attack), Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister (Jackie Brown), Danny Trejo (Machete), Ron Jeremy (let’s just say Killing Zoe), Jason London (Dazed and Confused), Jeremy London (Mall Rats), Richard Grieco (If Looks Could Kill), Sam J. Jones (Flash Gordon), Victor Ortiz (The Expendables 3), Sean Stone (Savages) and Bianca Brigitte Van Damme (6 Bullets).
Unfortunately, we know very little about the film, but given its spectacular cast (no matter how goofythey appear), we definitely have our eyes peeled!
In addition to Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleecing, Wraith is working on Kickbox (also with Bianca Brigitte Van Damme), and is also the subject of an upcoming martial arts documentary (to see what Wraith is capable of, check out his reel).
Favorite all time is Snake in the Monkey's Shadow. Still looking for a hard copy with the actual monkey killing the snake not cut out.

Black Samurai
Year: 1977
Duration: 01:21:53
Directed by: Al Adamson
Actors: Jim Kelly, Bill Roy, Roberto Contreras, Marilyn Joi and Essie Lin Chia
Language: English
Country: USA
Description: Robert Sand (Al Adamson - Girls for Rent), adviser of D.R.A.G.O.N. Security Reserve Agency Guardian Of Nations, is acting tennis on his holiday with a gorgeous black chic, when his commanding authorities ask him to rescue a Chinese girl called Toki who occurs to be Sand's lover, and the child of a top Eastern Ambassador. The ransom money for the capture was the trick for a fantastic new weapon - the frost bomb - but the 'Warlock' behind the action is also into the company of drug dealing and Voodoo ritual killings. The research provides him from Hong Kong to California through Miami, and lots of action, versus terrible men, bad girl, and bad animals.

Challenge of the Tiger

Directed by: Bruce Le
Actors: Bruce Le, Jang Lee Hwang, Richard Harrison
Language: English
Country: Italy, USA, Hong Kong
Also known as: Duelo del Dragon y el Tigre, Die Todesfäuste des Karatetigers, San lung mang tam, La sfida del tigre, Gymkata Killer
Description: Two CIA agents - a kung fu master (Bruce Le) and a suave womanizer (Richard Harrison) - track the stolen formula for a super-sterility drug from Spain to Hong Kong, battling Neo-Nazi terrorists and a Vietnamese spy ring for its possession.
Bruce Le stars in and directs this fairly entertaining Kung Fu action flick in which he and his over sexed, playboy partner (Richard Harrison) undertake an assignment to recover a top secret formula that could potentially render all men on the planet sterile(!) Shock horror! To make matters more complex, the said formula has also aroused the attentions of a number of other unscrupulous parties including a group of communists led by the one and only Hwang Jang Lee.
Cue a plethora of impromptu fights, breasts aplenty (including a truly mesmerizing topless tennis match!), some Bull-Fu(!) and enough testosterone fueled rippling muscle displays to please even a Mr. Olympia adjudicator! Yep, all in all, whilst certainly not a classic by any means, it's good harmless B-movie fun and well worth watching at least once. ~ IMDB
