"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.
