I caught this low budget martial arts indie under the title FORCE FOUR. It's a hilariously inept little feature shot on the urban streets of New York, where a task force of four kung fu experts are called in to retrieve a stolen African statue from a sinister criminal gang who have stolen it. The film features some of the slowest and worst-choreographed fight scenes you'll ever watch, while the general air of ineptitude isn't helped much by the fact that all of the dialogue is dubbed in post-production and the words never quite match the lips. It deserve kudos for having an actor called 'Warhawk Tanzania' in the cast, but director Michael Fink is well out of his depth here and the end result a cheesy disappointment.

This movie is a lot of fun. AQ bunch of brothers running around doing kung-fu on each other. The box shows a couple of guys with guns but I don't recall any weapons being used in the movie. The production is horrible and the story is really bad but if you drink or smoke enough, this movie is wonderful! The sound effects make the movie. Imagine getting kicked in the stomach and it sounding like someone chopping wood! The dialog is funny and the fight scenes are choreographed like an 8th grade production of "West Side Story". This movie is easy to find on the auction sites and can be had for under $1. You can also pick up Black Force 2 for a few pennies if you really have the urge to waste away a Friday night. Don't watch this while sober.

WOW! They don't come more incompetent than this. A Blaxploitation flick where four karate experts are hired to retrieve a stolen African witchdoctor fetish doll. The entire movie consists of them getting the job, asking people where it is, kicking people when they don't know, locating it at crime boss Z's house, Z getting away, them finding Z at his other house and taking it back. This is absolutely amazing film-making because nearly every scene is dubbed with actors just laying down the lines regardless of whether their mouths are moving or not. The film features real martial artists with credits stating their black belt degree. It boasts that no effects outside of slow motion were used but this looks like something Rudy Ray Moore choreographed. Fans of Warhawk Tanzania (DEVIL'S EXPRESS) might want to check this out because he is the second lead Adam. He delivers the film's one (yes, one!) awesome slo-mo kick. Tanzania's EXPRESS co-star Wilfredo Roldan also appears sporting the same Rodan moniker but this time he is a thug. Amazingly, director Michael Fink got one more film out the following year called VELVET SMOOTH. Even more amazing, he went on to become a top of the line visual effects supervisor on films such as TANGO & CASH, BRAVEHEART, X2 and CONSTANTINE (I am not kidding!). Platinum Pictures' VHS release has a guy on the front holding a machine gun and the back claims a team "armed to the teeth" recover the idol. Not a single gun is in film. Such a scrupulous company they then released the unrelated BROTHER ON THE RUN (1973) as BLACK FORCE 2!

Worst movie I've ever seen. The production values on this movie are almost non existent. Everything looks to have been shot in one or two takes, and all the dialogue is dubbed...badly. At one point two men were talking to each other, but one had the voice of a woman. Not that it matters though, because the porno music soundtrack is turned up so high, you can't make out what anyone is saying.Watching this movie gave me a headache.
