Steele Justice was a vehicle for Martin Kove. Martin is best known as the leader of Cobra Kai( John Kreese) and also had a supporting role in Rambo First Blood pt 2. In this film Martin Kove is hero and leading man. (John Steele) In my opinion, Kove was better as a villain. However, he still gets the job done here in this post Vietnam War vigilante revenge flick. When his best friend and his family get brutally executed by the Vietnamese Mob, John goes on a one man mission for justice ala Rambo/Commando style. Steele Justice benefits from a great cast with Bernie Casey, Ronny Cox and Soon Tek Oh as main baddie( who was also head villain opposite Chuck Norris in Missing In Action 2). I thought this was good, however Martin Kove is lame in comparison to Arnold and Sly. Steele Justice was a good lesser known action flick that didn't skimp on big guns, karate sequences and a big body count of bad guys by the movie's end. I can definitely see Cobra Kai fans eating this up as well as 80's action fans in general. Just keep in mind that this is not as good as the movies it mimics and you should enjoy this as I did.
