The newly released sizzle reel from Tiger Style Media via Republic Pictures/Paramount is filled with enough jaw dropping, bone smashing visuals and empty-handed combat action reminiscent of the heydays of the 90’s when movies like these filled video store shelves everywhere. The talent involved in all four movies bodes well for the future of the company as they look to deliver countless hours of extreme martial arts action for years to come with expert care taken into consideration when handling the onscreen carnage and mayhem. I’m digging the casts of each flick which combines real, hardcore martial arts talent along with genre icons like Jeff Fahey and Michael Biehn. The company is going all out to ensure that fight film fanatics are treated to the best possible product that they can put out.
Needless to say, if you’re one of the lucky ones that gets these films at your local movie theater, then be sure to check them out on the big screen with the best sound possible so you can feel every elbow, knee, kick and punch. If not, probably like me, make sure to acquire them when they hit digital and add them to your action cinema home movie arsenal.
You can bet that I will be checking watch and every one of them out and will deliver Action Fix Podcast reviews when I view them! Lock N Load right here for more to follow on Tiger Style Media and all four incoming movies as we are your destination for your extreme martial arts fix!!!!
