'American Streetfighter' 1992 – Steven L. Austin.

Successful businessman Jake Tanner (Gary Daniels) returns home after 10 years to help his troubled brother Randy (Ian Jacklin) who is dangerously involved in illegal fights. American Streetfighter is another DTV banger from burly Blue-eyed Brit Gary Daniels. A shark in the office, Jake throws down equally hard in the ring, bust's up head's on the streets like a boss, Jake Tanner's an expert all-terrain hard ass! If the gaudy sight of a VHS cover emblazoned with an oily-looking muscle mountain on the cover puts a man-sized twizzle in your pizzle American Streetfighter's for you, dude! While the dialogue is excruciatingly awful at times, and some of the lumpy fight scenes are poorly blocked, I still got a kick out of this entertainingly goofy 90s fight-flick. Notable high points for me are Jake's leonine hair, a sweet Ninja Turtles reference, all Gerald Okamura's scenes, and the beaten Daniels heroic return to fearsome fighting form montage is the phooken don!

Choice bon mots.
