This crime revenge drama from 1988 was shot on 16 mm and financed by a bank loan that should have paid for another year of film college for writer/director/screenwriter/stunt coordinator/ Jim Van Bebber who has also directed music vids for the likes of Skinny Puppy and Necrophagist.

I re watched this last night to refresh my memory and for a low budget film that could only be finished by using some B-Roll footage it's damn good.

Bebber needs to quit his gang for his sanity but when a rival gang kill his girlfriend he's out for revenge but instead of all guns blazing, it's knives, nunchuckas, kung fu and throat ripping. Throw in a little social commentary and you get a film with lots of rewatchability and half decent acting. It took me forever to get the DVD and it's still not released over here. More to come.
