kill or be killed?

Does anybody here happen to remember this flick? I think it was the late 70's. The name James Ryan keeps coming to mind but I can't find anything on the net. If anybody knows how I can get it let me know. Thanx

Man I searched all over and couldn't find a thing sorry.

[don chi]

Thanks anyway. Does it sound familiar to you at all. I think there may have been another one, Kill and Kill Again.

[krzychicano]

Not really but I searched all over for those kinds of titles and the actor and found zip. sorry

I remember seeing this movie a long time ago. I looked on IMDB.com and they have it listed as being released in 1980, starring James Ryan. The IMDB plot summary is:

 

Two former ranking figures of the Axis powers schedule a deadly martial arts tournament in an isolated locale. The two rivals then race to assemble the top competitors from around the world, with Steve Chase being the most sought after fighter.

wow nice search.

[don chi]

Thanks for the effort guys, it's greatly appreciated. I'm going to check it out.

you can find reviews on rotten tomatoes or yahoo movies, for instance, anyway you'll find it to be very underestimated.

 

In my opinion the best martial arts film ever shot !

 

The idea of a nazi general taking refuge in Namibia and puttin'up a karate olympia is a manifestation of pure nonsense genius (a very Avenger-like plot, if you see what I mean). Suondtrack is very good too !
