Ich war überrascht das es trotz Gefällenpotentials in der Story, sich diesbezüglich ohne große Längen hindurch ein schönes und kurzweiliges Revival-Fest wurde ohne großen Anspruch aber dafür auch mit toller Optik und verspielten Kameraeinstellungen.ĭie Fights ballern ganz ordentlich, das Finale klotzt in Punkto Härte noch mal ran und wenn Sidekick Cynthia Rothrock von der Seite mit ausgestreckten Bein angeflogen kommt kann eh nix mehr in die Binsen gehen. Zwischendurch aber blitzten doch ein paar helle Erinnerungsfunken durch die Nervenumlaufbahnen wie z.B.: die Keilerei im Gummi Club wo zuvor Hair-Metal Band Tempest zur Mattenschnickerei und feuchtfröhlicher Party luden.ĭas war´s dann aber auch schon fast bis auf David Carradine´s "Arschloch und Spass dabei" Performance und natürlich Frau Rothrock´s Handkantenschläge.
MARTIAL LAW CAST TV
Kaum Erinnerungen hatte ich mehr an MARTIAL LAW, zu lange ist die letzte Sichtung die wohl irgendwann mal spätabends durch´s TV flackerte her.
