I say "possibly" because I still haven't seen "Pushed to the Limit", but I have seen "Streets of Rage" and "Personal Vendetta", and this film has two notable advantages over those two: a) although it's clearly a low-budget production, at least it is shot on film, not on video, and b) although the fight scenes are not numerous (no more than 4, to be exact), they are convincing and the last one in particular is outstanding: Mimi goes up against a big tough guy and has to use all her weapons, including some grappling moves, to take him down; the fight looks real and rough. The script gets draggy at times and some of the dialogue is poor, but in martial arts movies what counts more is the fight scenes, and there "Beyond Fear" delivers, if not in quantity, at least in quality.
