VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Leofwine_draca I had next to no hopes for STREET WARRIOR, a TV movie variant on the kind of arena-fight films that Van Damme used to make at the beginning of his career like A.W.O.L. However, I ended up mildly enjoying it, although to be fair it's not something I'd watch again. STREET WARRIOR has the most clichéd plot imaginable, and all of the scenes are predictable, from our hero beating up some thugs robbing a store to the characters of his fellow fighters that range from Nazis to good guys in it against their will. Slick editing and a rocking soundtrack show influence from the likes of UNLEASHED, WARRIOR KING, and dozens of other movies, but STREET WARRIOR succeeds because it knows exactly what it's doing: delivering plenty of action.Max Martini, a pretty much unknown actor, is passable as the hero, not really distinctive enough to make a big impression although he's a better actor than some I've seen. Nick Chinlund overacts as the chief bad guy and there are a ton of supporting actors and actresses chosen for their looks rather than their thespian skills; whether it's the gorgeous henchwoman employed by the bad guy, the topless dancers in the strip joint, or the oiled and muscled beefed-up fighters in the ring.The action is well choreographed and fast paced and I enjoyed the fight scenes, even if they do remain utterly predictable. Unfortunately, the film begins flagging at around the halfway mark, despite its short running time, and the scenes ripped off from ONG BAK (the drugs pumped into the villain's neck, for instance) bog it down a bit; the climax is nowhere near as good as a couple of the early fights. If movies are food, then STREET WARRIOR is nothing more than a simple cheeseburger, eaten fast, easy to digest and tasting okay – and sometimes all you want is a cheeseburger.

The_Phantom_Projectionist STREET WARRIOR is one of many TV action films getting buried in the heaps of similar flicks that have sat around movie store shelves before heading towards the bargain bin. With a story that's not very inventive and fight scenes that were mediocre even at the time of its release, this is a watchable but totally overlookable addition to an already cluttered subgenre that will only truly interest fans of particular performers.The story: Discharged war veteran Jack Campbell (Max Martini) returns home to find his brother comatose after being drawn into an underground fight club controlled by a wealthy sadist (Nick Chinlund). Seeking revenge, he finds himself trapped in "the Gauntlet" as well when a family member is taken captive.The movie's biggest asset is its strong cast: though these roles could just as easily have been played by lesser-known performers, the effort put forth by Martini, Chinlund, sidekick Max Pehrlich, love interest Valerie Cruz, and a couple others is noticeable and keeps the movie watchable in lieu of a more compelling story or interesting fights.As tends to be the case with low budget action pictures, the problem with these fights is how they're shot and edited. The camera-work could be worse, but it still stays too close to the performers most of the time, making a lot of the action tough to follow. Further hindering the cohesiveness of the brawls is how clunkily shots are shoved together, oftentimes with considerable gaps in the action. Max Martini does a decent job at playing a fighter, and the martial cast is a decent mix of better- and lesser-known film fighters (including a surprisingly large Sidney Liufau as the champion), but their physical prowess can't save these mostly-bad thirteen matches.Chances are you reached this film's page because you're an action fan to begin with, and if this is the case, let me assure you that you've probably seen this movie many times before with different covers and a slightly tweaked storyline. Unless you're building a collection of underground fight flicks, this one's not worth the prices of purchase. There's just nothing new here.

smoothie_tsoe Hey, coming from a movie buff, not a critic.... this movie rocked, action-packed, good plot, doesn't slow down for a minute. If You are an action fan, you will love it. If you are looking for flaws, or just immune to good entertainment, then you won't like it. To be honest, this is a guys movie, not for the ladies. It's got the adrenaline, violence, and of course the nudity. I say under-rated & worth watching. This underground fighting movie moves at a fast pace. It keeps your attention. It showcases interesting fighters with different styles of fighting. And of course a corrupt organization. Along with the topless babes, what more can you want?

rbylakx The "Street Warrior" is Jack Campbell, played by Max Martini, an ex-army ranger, who comes back home to discover his brother beaten near death because of an underground no holds barred fight club. He enters the gauntlet to avenge his brother and bring order to the town that has been corrupted by the ring leader, played by Nick Chinlund."Street Warrior" supplies us with tons of great action fight scenes that are at times vicious. Various styles of fight techniques are used... martial arts, boxing, wrestling, street brawling, luchador, and lots of cheat moves. What more can you ask from a fight movie? Well, how about some beautiful women? Street Warrior has lots of great eye candy as well to keep your interest piqued between the fists and blood.The acting is very good and believable by the entire cast. Props to Max Martini and Nick Chinlund on their performance, but also to the characters of Baldus, played by Gary Kasper, the evil white supremacist Nazi fighter who entices the rabid paying audience by yelling "Hate Me!", and the character of Santo, played by Danny Arroyo, the luchador fighter who befriends Campbell and is forced to fight in order to save his wife and children.Fighting, sex, blood, dancing women and great action... What more can you ask from a fight movie? "Street Warrior" is well worth the rental.
