Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

BA_Harrison Unscrupulous jade dealers (led by a German Hitler look-alike) abduct young women and take them to Warriors' Island, where the unfortunate prisoners are sold to extremely happy cannibalistic monks who operate a jade mine. By consuming the flesh of the captive women, the monks are able to resurrect the dead bodies of disgraced martial artists.When a pleasure cruise sets sail for the island, its passengers including several karate experts keen to see the sights, the jade dealers decide to attack the boat and kill everyone on board. After a furious battle, the craft is set on fire, forcing the remaining passengers and crew to abandon ship in a life raft. No prizes for guessing that they wash up on the shores of Warriors' Island where they encounter the jade dealers, the monks, and their zombies.Pure exploitation trash from start to finish, Raw Force is a cheap and cheesy martial arts horror movie that features equal amounts of ineptly choreographed bad-assery and extremely gratuitous female nudity. It's technically shoddy in most departments, but director Edward D. Murphy packs his film's 86 minutes with so much absurdity that its very hard not to enjoy.Cameron Mitchell slums it as the ship's captain, Filipino exploitation regular Vic Diaz plays the leader of the cannibal monks, and I Spit On Your Grave actress Camille Keaton has a pointless (but welcome) cameo as a topless woman trying to have sex in a bathroom. Laughable chop socky aside, the plentiful violence includes samurai sword impalement, a hilarious zombie decapitation, an axe death, a drowning in a toilet bowl, and a piranha attack.

Woodyanders Without a doubt one of the all-time single most sublimely shoddy'n'stupid shot-in-the-Phillippines low-budget kung-fu gore/horror/zombie/cannibal cheesy Grade Z exploitation trash masterpieces to ever ooze its divinely dopey way onto celluloid.A bunch of evil, leering, impishly demented killer monks led by the always delightful Vic Diaz reside in seclusion on a remote island and devour the flesh of beautiful young women in order to successfully gain immortality. A low-rent pleasure cruise ship skippered by cranky captain Cameron Mitchell gets attacked by the monks' nefarious white slavery ring partners-in-crime; said ring is actually led by a chubby former Nazi who comes complete with a Hitler mustache and an atrocious heavy German accent. Fortunately, a majority of the ship's survivors are these obnoxiously swaggering macho meathead martial arts experts and their equally proficient at karate bimbo girlfriends. Alas, the monks are a most resourceful lot; they resurrect their vicious long dead ancestors from beyond the grave (the zombies are clearly these thankless miserable extras sporting dirty tattered rags and two-cent Halloween schlock shop gray greasepaint make-up!), thereby allowing for lots of ridiculous and hence seriously smoking the living vs. the undead a**-stomping mano-to-mano physical confrontation action.Yeah, this deliciously dumb darling's every bit as lovably ludicrous as the above synopsis suggests -- and all the better for it, man. I mean, any cheerfully crass picture that boasts perennial dreck flick favorites Vic Diaz and Cameron Mitchell in the cast, lovely actresses Jillian Kessner and Jennifer Holmes in feisty femme roles, features the expected mondo destructo bar fight scene (this one even has an especially luscious stripper in it!), a gory decapitation at the very start of the film (always a good way to start a movie), a clip from "Piranha," a guy putting his foot through the windshield of a speeding automobile in strenuous slow motion, and a wonderfully sleazy and protracted party orgy scene that's highlighted by topless cameos from the foxy Camille Keaton of "I Spit on Your Grave" infamy and the adorable, perpetually vacuous Valley Girl airhead supreme Jewel Shepard of "The Return of the Living Dead" fame all crammed together into an enthusiastically vibrant and scroungy anything-goes wild grind-house package certainly counts as a bona fide four-star jaw-dropping classic of exceptional drive-in entertainment.

horrorbargainbin Yup, it played on the big screen with on a double bill with "Cannibal Ferox". There were some special guests who worked on this obscure film and they did not have much good to say about it. I guess the director was a big time sleaze and was also inexperienced. There is lots of nudity in this one. All the elements of exploitation are covered, including female slavery. It's actually a really hilarious movie which is probably partly intentional. The crowd loved it.

gridoon Outrageously trashy karate/horror thriller with loads of graphically gory violence and gratuitous nudity, and a thoroughly preposterous and bizarre "plot". This is lowbrow and low-grade entertainment that will appeal only to viewers with particularly kinky tastes, but it's kind of cheerfully bad and I must admit that I wasn't actually bored while watching it....
