Jerry Trimble stars as John Merill, an ex-Navy SEAL who is wrongfully imprisoned for the death of a woman.(He stepped in to stop a rape and after killing the bad guy, he got framed by the bad guy's friends) He's forced to spend the rest of his life in a hellhole prison, however the corrupt guards and warden(Vic Diaz) are mistreating prisoners and the human rights people are interested in these allegations. This is because of Uncle(George Takei) who has proof of all the wrong doings, however Uncle and John Merill must survive not only the gangs but also the corrupt guards and warden. Live By The Fist is easily among one of the worst movies I ever saw. I saw this on Cinemax about 12 years ago and it was really something to watch. The dubbing is uniformly awful with Trimble, Markland and Takei as the only cast members who actually put in their own voices. The acting is terrible and even George Takei is awful. Trimble does some okay footwork but basically this is far too awful to be even worth it for action fans. Camp fans will find much to laugh at but I was too bored to even find this much fun. Maybe I should see it again...
