I seems like Billy Blanks and Jalal Merhi are really fond of each other, since they have been in several movies together. Both "Talons of the Eagle" and "TC 2000" were quite good, and so is this one. It's a rather simple, action-packed flick where the action is totally at the center of attention. Action lovers get their dose of everything that's good, both martial arts and gun/explosion-scenes are abundant. Both are really good, and Blanks again does a rather great job in everything he does (except the acting itself, who I don't care about at all). Simple things are often the best. Today's movie makers should take a look at this for a good example of how an action movie should be.
The worst movie I've ever seen. Unbelievably bad on every account. I didn't used to think it was the worst, yet when I started ranking the worst movies I'd ever seen, it took the top and nothing could unseat it. The video game tie-in was no better.
Nobody will ever wonder why Billy Blanks or Jalal Merhi never received any acting awards (hell, they are quite poor even at delivering the kind of sarcastic one-liners that Arnie excels at), but they can both fight for real, and "Expect No Mercy" gives them plenty of opportunities to show their abilities. And the good news is, they're going against guys who can fight as well: the highlight of the film may be the fight between Billy Blanks and his equally impressive real-life brother Michael. The "virtual-reality martial arts training academy used as a front for an assassination business" is a fairly unusual concept, and the graphics are what you'd expect from a low-budget 1995 DTV movie. Laurie Holden is beautiful and feisty, though not feisty enough to avoid the "damsel-in-distress" role at the end, as even the (overacting) No. 1 villain Wolf Larson points out. The music score is effective. All in all, if you're looking for lots of martial arts action, this film is just what the doctor ordered. **1/2 out of 4.
"Expect No Mercy" is a time capsule product of the beautiful glory days of the Video market, the direct-to-video heyday's of the 80's & 90's, those times are beautiful Nostalgic trips to the better times in my opinion, the shelves of Blockbuster video or anywhere else that sold or rented videos would have so many Awesome looking B-movies from Action to Horror, the variety & cool cover art was fantastic & I'm so glad i experienced it all & i lived in those video stores practically lol that's how much i enjoyed pickings out videos, i was always in those places & i discovered so many great "Gems" & i treasure those times & kids today will Never have those fun times, god i miss the 90's & from those beautiful times of videos & B-movie craziness this low-budget martial arts flick was born, a sort-of Virtual Reality sci-fi action & martial arts Thriller starring vhs era hero BILLY BLANKS, this dude was on so many DTV covers & to honest he's a fun product of the those times, a cheap Wesley Snipes in a way but was Cool enough to have his own fan base.
"Expect No Mercy" is fun, good pure 90's cheesy action with comedy & really bad 90's special effects but that's also why i like it so much & the really cool music at the beginning by Varouje, epic music score.
Another 90's B-list star WOLF LARSON is here too as a villain of of a martial art academy that uses VR to train it's warriors & i like Wolf, this dude was great in the B-movie Gem "Shakedown" from 2002 & here he's a long haired porno star looking villain lol but he's cool. Billy Blanks goes undercover at the place for the F. B. I & it's a typical low-budget martial arts flick with fancy fighting & that really cool & really colourful 90's lighting that gives it a comic-book look.
There's some buddy aspects to this & alot of fun & plenty of violence.
If you like this type of thing, like i do, then you will enjoy it for exactly what it is.....90's B-movie Fun.

And it's really good. Action scenes are awesome, the martial art is also awesome, the fights are good and the hero's does take damage though the movie and do not always win every fight.
It's a b-movie and some of the actors ain't the best, you can spot silly stuff in the background and so on but it really delivers a good and entertaining action movie.
Highly recommended for the one who doesn't want a advanced story but great main villian with goons and good hero with side kicks saving the day after a lot of blood sweat and fighting.

- TriviaBilly Blanks replaced Olivier Gruner as the star of the movie on short notice.
- Versiones alternativasGerman version was heavily edited for violence by 7 minutes in order to get a "Not under 18" rating, but nonetheless it was still put on the BPjM index list which resulted in various sales & advertising restrictions. Although removed from the index list back in 2021, only just now in 2025 the uncut version will be released on Blu-ray in Germany by Cargo Records.
