5 out of 5 stars A Whoopi Classic!!.......2007-04-03

This movie has always been one of my favorites from Whoopi Goldberg. She gives a great performance with plenty of comedy and drama. This is a great drug movie. 20 years old and still great!!

1 out of 5 stars fatal beauty.......2007-02-22

I love this movie. I had it on video but wanted to up grade it to DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Favorite Whoopi Goldberg movie .......2007-01-22

I don't know what it is but I really like this movie. I am use to seeing Whoopi in comedy roles but this is more dramatic and she pulls it off pretty well cool movie.

5 out of 5 stars Whoop and Sam Elliot make a good combo.......2007-01-04

This is a very good movie for Whoppi and Sam Elliot fans.

3 out of 5 stars Good Action With goldberg;s sense of humor is a good combo.......2000-08-31

A fast talking smart mouth cop investigates a cocaine ring who specalizes in a lethal form of cocaine and sells it to the highest bidder. Basically what the viewer has here is the female version of BEVERLY HILLS COP With Goldberg having the same dialouge Eddie Murphy had. The violence and bloodflow never stops from the opening scene right to the climatic finale. The best part was the massive shoot out in the mall. The film has one weak point Sam Elliot, wasn;t really convincing as a bodyguard who ends up falling for Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg pulled off a very funny genuine performance. The film is worth seeing and is much,much better than BURGLER realased the same year.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't worry, it does finally end!.......2007-04-12

    Gary Daniels fights Yakuza gangsters and teams up with a Japanese killer. They look to take down a crazy crime boss.

    The story is not bad, but the direction is very weak and doesn't get anything out of the actors. Slow pace is really taken to the extreme.

    This certainly isn't one of the worst movies ever made, but is not recommended. It could have been good if the acting and dialogue were tolerable.

    There are only 3 fight scenes. The first 2 are mildy enjoyable and very short. The final fight is more of the same. The main problem is that while Gary Daniels looks outstanding and the stuntwork is good, the editor seems to have even less of a clue on how to make movies then the director.

    James Lew has a cameo but unfortunately doesn't fight, and in the credits I saw Cuba Gooding Sr. listed and it does seem to be Gooding's father. I wish I could explain what the heck he is doing in this movie, but I would be much more interested in finding out why James Lew just has a throw away role. Listed as a stuntman is J.J. Perry which is not surprising and explains why the stuntwork is so well done, but too bad about the editing.

    1/5

    The DVD from Platinum Disc has very good sound and picture quality.

    5 out of 5 stars crowd pleasing east meets west martial arts extravaganza.......2004-02-07

    Gary Daniels is not my favorite action hero, but in this film he does a very commendable job as a cop out to avenge his partner's death. It seems the yakuza and a local L.A. gang are engaged in warfare when the Yakuza send a specialist to eliminate their problems in L.A. unfotunately a mistaken identity leads Daniel's to believe that the hitman rubbed out his friend when in fact the hitman is a consumate professional who only in his own words eliminates the target and not innocents.The action is fast and furious and there is a pretty good car chase scene to keep us entertained as a corruptpolice captain also adds to the confusion betweeen the gangs as an informant for the local gang. With a few plot twists about a Japenese girl whom engages the Yakuza hitman to avenge her sisters death from a drug overdose the storyline has a nice even flow to it that makes this movie good popcorn material on a rainy day. Not a bad flick for Daniel's who actually shows here that he has a personality with a little help on character development that he gets here

    5 out of 5 stars SEIKO is the best actress........2002-02-20

    SEIKO is a Japanese top star.
    She has even a singer.
    But, the best work is being done even if it is made an actress.
    Such she is only out, and I think that it is the best work.
    And, neither DVD nor video is on market in Japan to this work with being disappointing.
    It is very envious of being on market in America.

    2 out of 5 stars Generic and uninspired.......2002-02-06

    One of the more generic martial arts films released as of late, Fatal Blade is an uninspired and droll film that features Gary Daniels as another cliche renegade cop that plays outside the rules. Contrary to the movie's box art, Mr. Daniels hardly wields a katana in this flick, and the few action scenes which could have been somewhat gratifying are played in fast-forwards, making them appear cheesy and goofy, instead of exciting. If you're a fan of Gary Daniels (all three of you), check out some of his better performances, such as Fist of the North Star and stay away from this turkey.

        The only bad thing about this 2-pack is that Black Friday has decent picture quality and Fatal Blade has very good quality. I just wish it was the other way around.

        1 out of 5 stars Don't worry, it does finally end!.......2007-04-12

        Gary Daniels fights Yakuza gangsters and teams up with a Japanese killer. They look to take down a crazy crime boss.

        The story is not bad, but the direction is very weak and doesn't get anything out of the actors. Slow pace is really taken to the extreme.

        This certainly isn't one of the worst movies ever made, but is not recommended. It could have been good if the acting and dialogue were tolerable.

        There are only 3 fight scenes. The first 2 are mildy enjoyable and very short. The final fight is more of the same. The main problem is that while Gary Daniels looks outstanding and the stuntwork is good, the editor seems to have even less of a clue on how to make movies then the director.

        James Lew has a cameo but unfortunately doesn't fight, and in the credits I saw Cuba Gooding Sr. listed and it does seem to be Gooding's father. I wish I could explain what the heck he is doing in this movie, but I would be much more interested in finding out why James Lew just has a throw away role. Listed as a stuntman is J.J. Perry which is not surprising and explains why the stuntwork is so well done, but too bad about the editing.

        1/5

        The DVD from Platinum Disc has very good sound and picture quality.

        5 out of 5 stars crowd pleasing east meets west martial arts extravaganza.......2004-02-07

        Gary Daniels is not my favorite action hero, but in this film he does a very commendable job as a cop out to avenge his partner's death. It seems the yakuza and a local L.A. gang are engaged in warfare when the Yakuza send a specialist to eliminate their problems in L.A. unfotunately a mistaken identity leads Daniel's to believe that the hitman rubbed out his friend when in fact the hitman is a consumate professional who only in his own words eliminates the target and not innocents.The action is fast and furious and there is a pretty good car chase scene to keep us entertained as a corruptpolice captain also adds to the confusion betweeen the gangs as an informant for the local gang. With a few plot twists about a Japenese girl whom engages the Yakuza hitman to avenge her sisters death from a drug overdose the storyline has a nice even flow to it that makes this movie good popcorn material on a rainy day. Not a bad flick for Daniel's who actually shows here that he has a personality with a little help on character development that he gets here

        5 out of 5 stars SEIKO is the best actress........2002-02-20

        SEIKO is a Japanese top star.
        She has even a singer.
        But, the best work is being done even if it is made an actress.
        Such she is only out, and I think that it is the best work.
        And, neither DVD nor video is on market in Japan to this work with being disappointing.
        It is very envious of being on market in America.

        2 out of 5 stars Generic and uninspired.......2002-02-06

        One of the more generic martial arts films released as of late, Fatal Blade is an uninspired and droll film that features Gary Daniels as another cliche renegade cop that plays outside the rules. Contrary to the movie's box art, Mr. Daniels hardly wields a katana in this flick, and the few action scenes which could have been somewhat gratifying are played in fast-forwards, making them appear cheesy and goofy, instead of exciting. If you're a fan of Gary Daniels (all three of you), check out some of his better performances, such as Fist of the North Star and stay away from this turkey.
