Boisterously unleashed not too long after after the explosive wake from Ninja extravaganza 'Pray For Death' had barely subsided, solid action director Hessler renewed his historically successful collaboration with iconic 80s martial arts sensation Shô Kosugi whose steely gaze, natty Ninja threads, fleet-fisted fighting style, and deadly Shuriken-slinging expertise had Iron-fistedly galvanized the global Ninja craze, and in his bruisingly action-packed B-Movie Bond 'Rage of Honor',Katana-cool, Icepick-deadly, Buddha righteous, thug trashing cop Shiro Tanaka (Sho Kosugi) is darkly embroiled in the murderous machinations of sadistic drug kingpin Havlock (Lewis Van Bergen), with his partner dead, girlfriend kidnapped, capable writers Robert Short, Wallace Bennett, and no less competent film-maker Hessler robustly construct a rewardingly blood-thirsty arena for our Teflon-toed, panther-quick, gravity-dodging, gangster-goring avenger Kosugi to righteously revenge his fallen partner, and free his bound lady love from the nefarious clutches of his merciless foe, whose diabolically extended reach stretches poisonously from the sweetly sublime vistas of Singapore to the harsh, mercenary-infested jungles of South America! With plentiful, excitingly choreographed fight scenes, and blazingly balletic gun battles, 'Rage of Honor' has all the requisite blood-pumping, head-knockingly heroic hallmarks of a Shô Kosugi vengeance-fuelled VHS-era classic!

Rage of Honor (1987) ** (out of 4) A Narc agent (Shô Kosugi) gives up his job and goes for revenge after his partner is brutally killed and no one seems to care. It gets even more personal when the drug lord kidnaps his girlfriend and the agent decides to take everyone down. RAGE OF HONOR isn't going to win any Oscars and most people are going to hate it with a passion but if you're a fan of the genre then it should at least keep you entertained. Again, if you're looking for some type of high art then this here certainly isn't going to be your cup of tea but genre fans should eat it up. Kosugi was never an actor and his lack-of-acting skills actually makes for some pretty funny moments and especially in the more dramatic moments. The actor simply can't display any sort of dramatic moments and this at least gives some campy humor to the film. What Kosugi can do is kick major a@# and this is apparent during the various action scenes throughout the picture. The best one and the highlight happens on a hotel balcony as Kosugi's girlfriend is dangling from the side about to meet her death and her boyfriend is in the room fighting. The climax to this fight is pure martial arts material and classic. The supporting characters are all pretty much cardboard and none of them are interesting enough to really make the material better. The film also runs on a tad bit too long, which is another reason the film doesn't work better. With that said, there's enough silly action and camp to make it worth viewing for fans of the genre.

Please do not confuse this title with RAGE AND HONOR starring Cynthia Rothrock. This martial arts / action film is still not pumped up to the limit, but it did deliver some occasional surprises. Our Asian action man, Tanaka, can fist-fight and use a gun simultaneously. Not only that, he also carries a wide arsenal of weapons including ninja stars and bombs, all of which makes this worth an evening rental. Even more, he does about a couple of cool action stunts that rival (but not as good as) Jackie Chan once in a while. It's a fairly solid 80s actioner because of these features. Let me warn you, though. This movie is kind of lame and it won't hold your interest after one viewing. Solid choreography carries RAGE OF HONOR above the average mark.

Rage of Honor

This movie is very 80s. It has agents, ninjas, military, evil druglords, jungle tribes... it reminded me of every action movie from James Bond to Rambo to American Ninja. It also has bad acting, uninteresting characters and somehow boring flow of story. I can't give a really good rating because I felt a bit bored most of the time. But when the action starts, then it gets good. The action scenes may not be the best possible quality but they have certain coolness, with nice stunts, crazy ninja weapons, and enough explosions. I also liked hard rock/synthwave kind of music which seals the very 80s feel. So, this is not a movie you watch for the story, but if you have a soft spot for 80s' action movies it has a decent dose of that ridiculousness you probably yearn for.

Sho Kosugi stars as Tanaka a ninja who when on vacation fights of a group of mercenaries who killed his friend in this terrible chop socky effort which showcases a hero that is just too invincible to be any fun, also Gordon Hessler misdirects the action and the movie never recovers.

'Rage of Honor' has a plot one has seen hundreds of times with stock characters and dialogue that goes from the clichéd to the absurd. It does have some attractive South American scenery though and a good music score from the prolific Stelvio Cipriani. It also has Sho Kosugi who may not be able to act but who can do martial arts satisfactorily. The last half hour is mainly action and it is quite exciting though someone must start teaching evil henchmen how to shoot straight. Lewis Van Bergen as the main villain Havlock and Robin Evans as the love interest Jennifer Lane are uninteresting. Not a film to watch twice.
