'Raw Force' (1982) - Edward Murphy.
While the basic ingredients for successfully brewing a bellicose B-Movie has always been a slime-honoured blend of frequently flamboyant nudity, an equal generosity of scurrilously supplied smut, plentiful punch-ups, it can ALSO include malevolently manhandling white-slavers, a bodacious bevvy of Filipino hotties, super-creepy cannibal monks, and if you're REALLY lucky a recently reanimated, rot-clogged squad of malodorously menacing kung Fu corpses! With, perhaps, the sole exception to the orgiastic oeuvre of Troma films, the only bonkers B-Movie bonanza with those exact gonzoid attributes would be Edward Murphy's exquisitely eccentric exploitation exemplar 'Raw Force'.
Made in the Philippines on
a Takeaway budget, this fearsomely frenzied Kung Fu freak show is immodestly overloaded
with audaciously bizarre incident, as a group of boorish
holidaymakers, and a U.S. Karate club ignominiously find themselves
stranded upon isolated 'Warriors Island' where they are gruesomely
beleaguered by a delightfully garish set of increasingly murderous
misanthropic ghouls, being relentlessly hunted by putrescent
pugilists, and cruelly captured by calamitously cracked cannibal
monks, it will take all of their collective karate clout to escape this sinisterly sweltering island hell! 'The heroically hybridic horror
howler 'Raw Force' is lethal B-Movie crack, one savage hit to the
dome, and ya' hooked fer life! And to those in the know, ANYTHING starring charismatic Filipino character actor Vic Diaz is always cause for a MAJOR B-Movie celebration!
