bhouse A buddy and I went to see this movie when it came out in 1980. It was playing in a huge theater and we were the only two people in the place. It lasted two days in the theater before they stopped showing it. It was so bad that we laughed all the way through it. Since that time, we rate movies based on Kill or Be Killed as the worst movie of all time. Like other reviewers have mentioned, it is so bad that it is funny. It isn't worth a second look that's for sure. I just can't bring myself to give it more than a 1 because I don't think the makers of the movie intended for it to be so bad and I can't give credit for an accident. Sorry.

disdressed12 i liked this movie,mainly just because of its entertainment value.there are some pretty funny moments,most of them unintentional,i imagine.it is also not very politically correct compared to most of todays movies.if you go into this movie expecting good acting,i think you will be disappointed.but,the movie does have some pretty good martial arts fighting scenes,though at times they are ridiculously absurd and unrealistic.i did like the different fighting styles shown in the movie.the sound effects are horrible,yet are great for their comedic value.the movie is very low budget and the plot is almost non existent.but for action and comedy,you can't go wrong with this movie.it is a classic and very hard to find,but if you come across it, you will likely be very amused,at the least.based on the fight scenes and the comedic value,i give "Kill or be Killed" 8/10*

elcopy This movie should win the award of the all time so-bad-it's-good Bmovie ever. The plot is so surreal I'm surprised anyone came upwith such ideas. A nazi with a midget (named Chico, not Chino, asthe credits here imply), in a castle in the middle of the desert, hiresan army of karate fighters to prepare a tournament against aJapanese guy that cheated him 40 years earlier! If you can think it can't get any cheesier than that, just watch ascene where a pack of "wolves" are actually German Shepherds!I'm surprised how many so called "comedies" aren't a tenthfunnier than this action flick. The script seems to be improvised asthey were shooting the movie. The star is supposed to be thiskarate, macho star, but the midget has far more screen time thananyone else. If you're a B movie fan, this can't get any better!P.S. If you can, try to get the trailer of this flick. It's hilarious!

andy-573 If you're not expecting an Oscar performance, then you just might like this movie! Forget the script, forget the acting. Some great fight scenes, some phony karate screaming, and a dozen or so GREAT one-liners while the fighters train will keep you entertained.This was bloodsport arena-like fighting long before van damme.
