'Avenging Force' (1986) – Sam Firstenberg.
With the sole exception of 'Tango & Cash' it could well be argued that one of the most dynamically gifted duos within the perfectly-pectoral-packed panoply of action stars would be the inordinately successful pairing of heroically handsome head-knocker Michael 'American Ninja' Dudikoff, and perfectly proportioned pugilist Steve James, and in talented action-master Firstenberg's uncompromisingly tough, thermometer-blastingly hot action-thriller, wherein eagle-eyed, hotshot hunter (Michael Dudikoff) must unleash his special set of deadly efficacious kill-skills in order to take on the uncommonly nefarious cadre of thrill-seeking terrorists calling themselves 'Pentacle', this powerful, morally bankrupt organisation malevolently headed by darkly enigmatic psychopath John P. Ryan, a hateful racist, a hedonistic hunter of humans, one supremely sinister skell, hell-bent on world domination! What makes 'Avenging Force' such an indomitably fabulous 80s action classic isn't just the burnished star power of James & Dudikoff, it's the oppressively steamy swampy southern locale, the ceaselessly exciting film's brutally orchestrated fight scenes, maestro George S. Clinton's seratonin-stirring score, and the breathlessly exciting, Long unavailable, the handsome-looking 88 Films, super-spiffy Blu-ray release is a B-Movie dream come true!
