Lion Strike (1994)
6/10
Tons of action to take your mind off the less than stellar scripting

Warning: Spoilers
I should admit at the beginning of this review that I haven't actually watched any of the other RING OF FIRE movies, of which this is the third. However, I don't think I need to worry as they seem to tell unconnected stories. This one sees '90s action hero Don "The Dragon" Wilson playing a doctor (!) who accidentally comes into possession of a valuable computer disc that Russian gangsters are trying to get their hands on. Mucho action ensues.

This is a very typical offering from PM Entertainment, but at least it offers tons of action so you can take your mind off the less-than-stellar scripting. The first half is the best and features attacks on hospitals by motorbike goons and Wilson kicking the heck out of anybody who gets in his way. The second half is mostly set in the woods and is less inventive, but still quite fun. The action is a good mix of martial arts, shooting, and the usual explosions. Watch out for Robert Costanzo, the traffic cop from DIE HARD 2, as one of the bad guys.
