Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

You should know what to expect. And with "Kill Squad" you get what you expect. Silliness. Man-love. Rose beds. Action. That's non-stop silliness, man-love, rose-beds and action. Martial arts action. Where everyone (yep that's everyone) who fights knows kung-fu or gives it some sort of shot. No one is safe. And nobody is safe from the sound FX too (swoosh, crunch and smack). Cheap, low-grade drive-in exploitation that's simply fun from start to finish. Its happy-go-lucky approach is episodic, but it's all about the kung-fu set-pieces. Less talk, more fighting… that's it… although there's bit of strutting as well. Well they can't help it because of its funky dory soundtrack. Sure repetitive, but never does it become tiring due to its speedy pacing and brutal carnage. A small group of Vietnam veterans with special abilities reunite to seek vengeance for a friend who was left paralysed. The motto; "Joseph needs you." So after the brutal opening, we then see the squad… but before teaming up ("Assemble the squad Larry. You know where to find them."), they all get some sort of intro to show how badass they are (and even invincible… you'll know why when you see it). Then it comes "Joseph needs you." No hesitation, they're in and they deck up in their former army gear to help their pal. It's super best friends doing (a head nodding) Joseph proud, out to dig up leads but finding nothing but trouble as they take matters into their own hands. Especially those you don't like to play fair, by bringing out a gun… but those moments do end up with comical and quite bloody results ("You better let me hold onto this before you kill yourself").Plenty of humour is evident, but never does it feel all that serious. It's purposely funny, but well delivered on that front. There's a good mixture of laughs, sleaze (… this one is politically incorrect) and take no prisoners violence. That's not to say it doesn't get ridiculous, because it does… like the balaclava wearing sniper who suddenly appears from nowhere eliminating any clues / ties / people and the climatic revelation is pure ham instilling utter melodramatic daftness. The story is just dumb, but just roll with it. Performances are leaden, but diverting and the stunt work is a hearty display with its forceful fury and swift timing.Enjoyably hip, if low-brow macho kung-fu entertainment.

Some of the great acting coupled with stunning dialogue, a hint of racism, exploitation, and a rape scene inside the first ten minutes makes "Kill Squad" one of the best movies ever. If you are a fan of balls-to-the-wall action at breakneck speeds, a twisting and turning plot and martial arts masters showcasing their skills in scarcely fathomable fashions then "Kill Squad" is a must see! Five Vietnam veterans from all walks of life, joining forces once again, united in their search for vengeance, who will stop at nothing for justice. What better plot line could there be? Thusly "Kill Squad" is potentially the greatest cinematic exploit in human history. This has to be experienced to be believed.

And with these immortal words,The trio of Vietnam vets aptly named "The Kill Squad" are reborn to gain vengeance for the crippling of their friend.As other comments have stated,This is absolute rubbish in the first degree.Whilst i agree totally with this remark in terms of acting,story,Cinematography,Choreography ETC..ETC..It's just so enjoyable and entertaining to view.Don't ask me why i can enjoy a film where a guy falls from a five story building onto a car only to jump off,brush off the dust and annihilate his would be assailants,or why sound effects from the original Bruce Lee movies including his trademark "Yap" sound are incorporated here or why a man with prosthetic legs can run faster then anyone else,The best is a scene where all the Kill Squad members demonstrate there aptitude with various deadly weapons to their mentor only to never use them once.Jammin along to that saxaphone rang a dang every time a fight begins just makes me wish i had a huge afro and a camouflage suit...I Could become a member too.If i was to describe every other inept aspect of this film this summary would be as long as the Great Wall of China.I won this video on ebay for $0.06cents.It was worth every cent i paid for it.

Well, what can I say? This is the coolest b-movie ever! I have seen this movie several times together with my friends, and we never get tired of these cool sound fxs and the totaly funky music. It must be the movie I have seen with the best 70`s music ever. If you ever get over this movie in a store or whatever, then watch it, you`ll never regret!
