Everyone loves a punch-up. Everyone. Queen Elizabeth II is famous for them. Has one every New Years Day. Leaves Prince Philip sparkled out on the floor while Prince Charles jumps naked on a trampoline, clapping with a dummy in his mouth. Ghandi got rid of the British in India by having punch-ups. It's even said that Jesus himself decked a Roman guard on the way to the cross, and it's written in the Bible that when he ascended to heaven the first thing he did was take his father on in a square go.
This film is ninety-nine percent punch-up. No kidding. It's also a ridiculously entertaining crapfest that barely makes any sense whatsoever. In Turkey, a cigar chomping gangster has made a power play that's bumped off most of the competition. The only person that stands in his way is former Frosties spokesperson Tony Tiger, now living in retirement in his farm with some hired goons, wife, and child. While he's out hunting, a bunch of guys turn up, kill all his workers, give his kid a kicking (!) and get ready to do the nasty with his wife. When Tony arrives, a gravity defying punch up ensues but Tony loses, gets hooks rammed through his wrists and is suspended from the ceiling while these bad guys get it on with his wife (It's a Turkish film, so no disturbing stuff here thankfully...except they set his wife and kid on fire once they're dead I guess).
Tony is rescued from being turned into a kebab by ex-girlfriend Olga, who pleads with him to forget what's happened, but Tony is mad for revenge, and recalls his old army buddies - Gordon Mitchell, who runs a martial arts class that he refers to in the dialogue as Judo, even though everyone wears clothing that says 'Tae Kwon Do', Richard Harrison - a playboy gambler who has a punch up to get into a Casino, then another one on the way back out, and some crooner guy who sings a terrible song before taking on two hecklers in a punch up.
Things get stupider as all four split up to track down the guys that killed Tony's wife even though they know who sent them, but what the hell, eh? Gordon gets into a bizarre mass punch-up in a Turkish bath that spills out onto the street where the bad guy gets killed, Richard goes skiing where his bad guy takes a header off a cliff, Tony has an insane punch-up with a guy after jumping into a speeding car and the other guy has some punch up as well.
This all leads up to a full on assault on the bad guy's compound, or at least that's where I thought it was heading before a mass punch up broke out. A couple of twists at the end and you've got an immensely enjoyable short film if you like trashy b-movies. Punches that don't connect send people flying, heroes jump way up into the air, Richard Harrison scores within ten seconds of meeting a chick, and the whole thing is dubbed like a kung fu film. Gold!
