Pretty cool low budget kick em flick
9 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Talons of the Eagle has some good things going for it. Matthias Hues (from I Come In Peace and No Retreat No surrender 2) plays the lead henchman and we get a lot of b-movie fights and shoot outs and a lot of t&a. Billy Blanks'(from "King of the Kickboxers" and those Tai Bo videos)acting is so bad it's good but he does showcase some pretty cool moves and has some great one-liners. Especially when he talks about his balls being made of steel. James Hong stars as the Asian drug lord and we get some lame guy named Jalal Mehri who becomes Blanks partner and gets way too much screen time. Mehri is a pretty bad actor and fighter and i'm pretty sure he only got the role cause he produced the film. There is a pretty cool fight at the end between Blanks and Hues, the Russian bull(for you NRNS2 fans). Overall, it's a low-budget kick 'em up that reminded me of a weaker Showdown in little tokyo. Plus, you get tons of t&a, an old master who teaches Blanks the Eagle Claw, a really odd looking chick on steroids, horrible buddy-cop jokes, and Blanks having a really stupid kitchen fight with some bad guy. It's from SGE.
