Bloodfist 4 - Deadly Dragon

This is only the second Don "The Dragon" Wilson I've seen so far (after "Cybertracker"), and what I can say is that what he lacks in acting charisma he makes up for in action intensity. For the genre it belongs to, this movie actually has a fairly complex plot (as the hero observes, most characters assume a false identity at one point or another), and several fight scenes which are shot in a close-quarters, hard-hitting, down-to-earth style (much more streetfighting than high-flying here). Wilson's two encounters with another genre star, Gary Daniels, are pure B-movie gold (Daniels fans beware: he has a very small role here, almost a cameo). Cat Sassoon also impresses as a wicked villainess with a tight black outfit, a switchblade as her favorite weapon and quite a bit of kicking flexibility. When I checked out her page on IMDb, I was shocked to find out that she had passed away in 2002. It's a shame that she never got a chance to make a film with Cynthia Rothrock - those two going at it would have been another B-movie classic! Anyway, as low-budget American martial arts films go, this one is pretty good. (**)
